We have a number of people currently in our program who are way into their 60s and 70s. Their results for the most part have been astounding. This made me think of bringing this subject up: It is NEVER "too late" to embark on a weight loss objective. When most people progress into their 60s, the joints are starting to wear down some redulting in degenerative arthritis. Knee, back and hip pains are very common. Losing a substnatial amount of weight makes this situation much better and can delay, if not obviate, the need for knee replacements.
Psychologically, let's never forget that no matter what our age, self-esteem is an important issue. Losing weight makes a person feel better about being around others, and self-esteem improves. It is so much fun for us to see the changes in mood when someone achieves significant weight loss. The overall persona changes for the positive.
From a physical and psychological standpoint, weight loss is a great thing no matter what your age.
