The key to weight loss, at any age, is simply eating and exercising
1st, you should compute your BMI, and then the number of calories your body needs to maintain your current weight. Do this by going to any good website. I suggest http:/www.revolutionhealth.com/calculators/daily-calorie-needs (an awesome one).
To loose approximately 2 pounds a week (it sounds slow, and will go much faster at first, but is the best way to loose and keep it off) you should eat approximately 500 calories less then needed each day, OR to exercises and burn it off (I do both and it speeds the process up, especially when you are down to 20 to 10 pounds to go).
For example, I am a 43 year old female, 5'7" tall, and weigh around 120 pounds. At complete rest my body needs 1725 calories to maintain that weight every day. When I want to loose weight, I will eat 1200 to 1300 calories every day.
Exercise should be part of your daily life anyway, so I suggest you workout 4 to 5 times a week. That should include 20 to 30 minutes of any type of cardio that keeps you interested. At first I walked (really fast) now I jog. You need to keep your heart rate up for 20 to 30 minutes. any additional workouts are extra. If you want to build muscle, you need to work with weights. Lower pounds more reps, burns calories, while, Higher pounds will rip/tear/heal and build muscle.
AND OF COURSE, check with your doctor. Have your game plan ready, explain what you want to do, have them give you a physical, and tell you that you are good to go......AND
Good Luck!!!
