I am 61 years old, have been weight training for 48 years. The more I train with weights, my bodyweight stays up. The only way I can lose on the scale is running and bodyweight calisthenics. Some light weight training can also be included. It is weird but I finally figured out what works for me.

The weather is beautiful here in Boston now.  I really need to start running 2-3 times a week.

I'm down from a high of 159 to 156.4.  If I put as much effort into weight loss as I do my portfolio, I should make it to my goal weight of 137 right?

Progress update: it's coming off slowly, but I'm down to 153.6.  Still a *long* way to go.  Portion control is the biggest thing; I am trying to stop eating as soon as I feel content.  I would really like to be back in the 140s by year's end.
