New at FitDay
 

Hi, I was on FitDay 2 yers ago and then lost interest but now I'm back. I am 5' 2" and weigh 138. According to the BMI index, I am overweight. Some charts list my ideal weight at 115 lbs.!:eek: I am going to try for 130 lbs and then see if I feel like continuing.

I am a senior citizen and live in a retirement community where I exercise 3 times a week in a class directed by a fitness trainer. This is working with weights and bands and is for strengthening the whole body. For aerobic conditioning, I do Zumba Gold twice a week at the local Rec Center. It is really fun and I feel great afterwards.

According to the chart here, I only need about 1200 calories a day to maintain my weight when I reach my goal. That's not very many calories!:(

My weakness is salty snacks! I have to forego Cheez-its, cheese popcorn, triskets, etc. I'm supposed to lose my desire for them after a while, but so far, I'm still craving them at night.

Hello and welcome back to FitDay. We all have our weaknesses and boy they be tough to get past on some days. Stick around and we'll help you along the way and you'll be looking hot for the Senior Prom. ;)
