I am a wife and mother at an older age. I desire to become healthy as I just recently had symptoms of heart attack and now have diabetes and other health issues.
I live in Rwanda Africa and the diet is a lot of carbs so I really am working around that.
I will be 62, soon and I have been overweight since my twenties. I cannot blame pregnancy since my children are adopted. Every year I just gained ten pounds and kept it, then another. The highest I have weighed was 297.
I started getting serious in November of 2018. After having almost all the signs of a heart attack.
My blood pressure is high but I am now on medicine for that and angina for my heart. I was
tested for type 2 diabetes. The doctor is giving me until the end of June to see if there is enough improvement to not be put on meds.

I have rheumatoid arthritis which makes moving difficult. Now I am trying to, do anything to bring movement.

Looking Ahead!!
I was just diagnosed the same. I have been trying to eat 6 smaller meals and use whole wheat bread or pasta as well as Brown rice.One of the tips I read is to eat the fast turning carbs with protein or fat since it takes longer for the protein and fat to turn to sugar.

I am 62 and almost 5'4 and I am aiming for 140. Of course it has been so long since I as any where near that. It sounds like you have a realistic goal.
