Seniors Seeking Solutions for Health Care and Security

But these exercises are now thought to be quite hard on your back and to isolate muscles that would be better exercised in combination. Plank exercises — and other more dynamic movements — use more muscles at the front, side and back of your core. There are many different varieties, starting with the simple half plank — on your forearms and knees, rather than toes, maintaining a straight back.

Longer is not always better: Dead bugs are one of the simplest and most effective core exercises. Lie on your back with your arms extended, knees bent at 90 degrees, calves parallel to the floor. Keeping your lower back in contact with the floor, extend and lower your left leg and bring your right arm up. Tap your heel to the floor, return to the start and repeat with the opposite arm and leg, making sure your lower back never arches. By 57 I did exercise and and changed my eating patterns.

I do have a treadmill. I have a slight heart condition and the cardio doc said I need to lose some weight. My issue is time. I grab yogurt, hard boiled eggs or something along those lines to eat on my way to work in the car. Work consists of me sitting for most of the day. Dinner is a green salad and a piece of fish or meat. I have around cups of coffee a day and the rest is water around 3 bottles. Snacks are fruit or popcorn. I am an active person, except I am getting tired lately after work and find my self sitting on the couch most week nights.

Having to see it in print will help. Judith, Did you have any problems with the WW as far as time?

I recently had to under go a pretty intense bariatric surgery. The whole process leading up to the surgery was traumatic for obvious reasons. I credit my super quick recovery to the blanket.

Here are some facts about the system http: Mina age 90,My father followed the same pattern as you. He was very healthy and came from a large family,his siblings followed the same pattern of losing weight when they aged. The doctor seems tohave told you your health is fine. I am quite busy all day taking card of home and disabled hubby. My question is will swimming mns. I love to swim and if I get some feed back maybe will encourage me to do more. Hey there, I have been continually tormented by fact that losing weight seems impossible.

Personally, alcohol had to go! Using it as a crutch to stop the pain as we age is ludicrous at best. Just research how it affects the liver during metabolism. No weight loss can possibly happen. Okay, gravity affects us all, but swimming reduces its effect as we exercise.

And what a wonderful effect it can have on all of the major muscle groups. Just try treading water for 20 minutes. But the good news is with the loss of muscle mass and the unfortunate increase of the other mass, we float easier! Being a type 2 diabetic, it is always a challenge to eat right. Just educate yourself, it becomes less difficult. My best advice is, downsize your everyday life. That means in all aspects of your life. You are number one now and without you, no one that you care about can be helped when you are dealing with this huge personal problem.

So, suck it up and change your life today! Wishing you the best.

The Japanese diet seems to be pretty healthy, Ginger, except for the sodium content in it. They basically eat a lot of fish and vegetables. The vegetables are simmered in a broth. This information is very useful…… thanks for sharing…. I do thank you for reading my scenario and hopefully will see some commentaries on the next coming days.

Linda, we are the same age and although different gender, I find it more difficult to lose weight now than I did 2 years ago.

Nonetheless, I try to do my 10, steps a day and eat fairly sensible. I, too was a food junkie and loved the sweets. It is very difficult for me to lose weight.

Many nutritionists and researchers agree that such supplements can do more harm than good. Supplements can contain drugs that are not listed on the label, and may have harmful side effects. In , the Food and Drug Administration identified more than 30 weight loss supplements that contained hidden drugs, but only seven of these were recalled by their manufacturers. Weight loss supplements send more than 4, people to the emergency room every year, often due to heart symptoms, such as chest pain and a rapid heart rate, according to an estimate by a study published in October The bottom line, many experts told Live Science, is that there is often no scientific evidence supporting a supplement's claims.

The makers of diet supplements do not need to prove that their supplements actually help people lose weight in order to sell them in stores.

In contrast, makers of prescription and over-the-counter weight loss drugs, such as orlistat brand names: Alli and Xenical and lorcaserin brand name: Belviq , must conduct studies showing that the drugs can lead to weight loss before the pills are approved by the FDA for use in obese individuals and those considered overweight BMI of 27 or greater who also have obesity-related risk factors. Generally, people who take weight loss drugs — which often work by decreasing appetite and increasing feelings of satiety — can lose an average of 5 to 10 percent of their body weight in a year, according to the Mayo Clinic.

However, these drugs still need to be used along with diet and exercise for people to achieve this level of weight loss. Studies of these drugs involve people who have also made changes to their diet and activity level. According to the guidelines, the drugs might be helpful for people who aren't able to lose weight with diet and exercise alone, but people should consider discontinuing the drugs if they don't lose at least 5 percent of their body weight within 12 weeks of starting them.

However, Cohen cautioned that the long-term safety of weight loss drugs hasn't been studied. Most of the studies look at these drugs' safety after just one year, he said, and some earlier drugs that were approved by the FDA were later taken off the market because of their side effects.

For example, in , the weight loss drug sibutramine sold under the brand name Meridia was removed from the market — even though it had originally been approved — because it was later linked with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. In any case, weight loss drugs may not be a long-term method for keeping weight off, because people may regain the weight when they stop taking the drugs, Cohen said.

Here's a bit of advice that may make a dieter smile, or yawn: A growing body of evidence suggests that getting insufficient sleep increases the risk of obesity. However, most of these studies have been conducted at a single point in time, which makes it hard to determine whether a small amount of sleep was a cause or an effect of weight gain. The longest-running study on the link between short sleep and weight gain followed about 68, women for 16 years.

It found that women who slept 5 hours or less per night gained about 2. In addition, those who got 5 hours or less were 15 percent more likely to become obese during the study period than those who got at least 7 hours of sleep. Getting too little sleep, which most experts define as less than 7 hours of shut-eye per night, may increase levels of an appetite-stimulating hormone called ghrelin, and decrease levels of the hormone leptin, which makes you feel full, according to the NIH. This may lead to an increase in hunger.

In addition, people who sleep less could have more time to eat. In a small study of 11 people who stayed in a sleep lab, participants ate more snacks when they slept for just 5. This increase in snacking occurred mostly during the late-night hours. Still, it's not clear if getting more sleep actually helps people lose weight. However, studies are now being conducted to answer that question. In one study , researchers from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases will look at whether obese people who usually sleep less than 6.

Bariatric surgery , an operation on the stomach and intestine used to treat obesity, may be an option for people who are still severely obese after attempting to lose weight through other methods, such as diet and exercise. People with a BMI of 40 or greater, or those with a BMI of 35 or greater who also have obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes , are candidates for this invasive surgery, according to the NIH.

People who have bariatric surgery will still need to make lifestyle changes, including following a healthy diet and engaging in regular exercise, to lose weight and keep it off. A study that reviewed outcomes for more than 11, bariatric surgery patients found that patients typically lost about 56 percent of their excess body weight, or nearly 85 lbs.

Scientists who reviewed 89 studies on weight loss after bariatric surgery found that patients with a BMI of 40 or higher benefited most from the surgery, losing 44 to 66 lbs. It's typically harder to keep weight off than it is to lose it, the experts agreed. Many studies show that people usually experience their maximum weight loss after about six months of a diet-and-exercise program.

After that, the pounds come creeping back, although most people don't regain all of the weight. For example, a review of 80 diet studies involving more than 26, people found that dieters lost about 11 to 19 lbs. Participating in a program that focuses on maintaining weight loss — one that meets at least once per month for a year or more — can increase the chances that you'll keep the weight off.

A study of more than 1, people who lost about 19 lbs. To assist any weight loss effort, weigh yourself twice a week, continue the lower-calorie approach indefinitely and exercise at least minutes per week, according to the guidelines. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you make a plan for how to keep up your healthy eating pattern, even on weekends, vacations and special occasions. Eating breakfast may also stave off hunger later in the day. In a National Weight Control Registry study of nearly 3, people who kept off 30 lbs.

Once you've lost weight, keeping it off can seem like a never-ending battle. But it's a battle worth fighting, even if you slip sometimes. Trying, even if you don't always succeed, is better than not doing so, scientists say. There's no clear evidence that " yo-yo dieting " — or weight cycling, as researchers call it — is linked with an increased risk of early death or disease, compared with remaining obese, McManus noted. And very few studies report harmful effects of yo-yo dieting. In a nutshell, the bulk of the evidence says that maintaining your weight loss is achievable if you do the following:
