I am 57, well almost, and need help getting started on a "poor man's diet plan." I don't have a lot of money, but need help. Can you help me? Trinessa

Hi,
I'd like to invite you over to our thread. In need a buddy, we are on page 25 or 26 under "anyone 50 and starting again". You will find lots of support, motivation. We are all following different plans. Some are counting calories, South Beach, Atkins and Weight Watchers.
Hope to see you there.

Ah yes, I understand the trials of having to diet on a budget. My advice is to keep lots of vegetables. You can broil them, steam them, boil them, put them in a soup, sautee, whatever. And if you are worried about them going bad before you get a chance to eat them, you can always get frozen ones in bags or don't buy too many at a time. It's better to go to the store more often than to have to throw out food you payed good money for!

HI, I'm from the Over Fifties group too and would love to see you join us! It's much easier to do this if you're not alone! There are a great bunch of supportive people there and, while we are all one different diets, we get some great tips that are good for everyone! Please don't feel that you are alone or that this is impossible. You can do it! And it doesn't have to be expensive. Looking forward to seeing you.
