Need weight loss help

I’m new to this weight loss thing. I am 52 years old and I weigh 202 lbs and I am 5 foot, 1 inch. People say I should weigh 97-125 at the most. What do you think? I need help.

I suspect you’ll find your plan of action — training hard, eating smart, being consistent and positive — will work best once you get past the numbers and calculations, and get in motion.

When you lose 50 pounds you will be so practiced, motivated, encouraged and engaged that you’ll know where to go next and what bodyweight will suit you.

Read “Your Body Revival” — straight talk for the overweight, a friendly and strong teacher-motivator. I wrote it for you… and some other folks.

You might view our forum… or join in… a smart and friendly bunch.

Remember: The iron heals, mends, fortifies, toughens, vitalizes, enables, engages, entertains, satisfies, serves, instructs, humbles and makes a good door stop…

Train hard and always… God’s Might… Dave
