[quote=Anonymous]It certainly gets tougher after 50 but it's very doable. First, set a realistic target. Shoot for a pound a week and simply reduce your calories especially processed food such as snacks. Working out doesn't burn a ton of calories (sad but true!) but it can help add some muscle tone. Years ago I could cut back my calories and lose 5-8 pounds in two weeks. It doesn't happen now. If you target 20 pounds assume it will take at least 20 weeks and require a modest diet modification. Extreme diets don't work. Think of the hare and the tortoise. Slow and steady wins the day. It takes discipline but not a major sacrifice. Once you get some momentum going you will feel really good about yourself.[/quote]
