Welcome to Over Weight and Over 50, I am glad you are here, and hope you come back often.
This site is about having fun staying healthy and losing weight.
When starting this site I was within 1 point of being obese. I could easily start any quick diet plan or start a regimented exercise plan, but I want something that will last the rest of my life. yes, I want a new and healthy life style.
If i just wanted to track weight loss a scale would be enough.
However I'm more concerned with my health. The idea is the more healthier you are the more active you are and of course the more fun you're having.
Not only do I track my weight but also I track my heart rate while exercising and at rest.

I like using swot analysis because it has you look at the good & the bad, and you get figure out how to take advantage of one to over come the other.

When I was younger I could measure workouts by how much sweat was on my shirt or how out of breath I was. The only way to measure any progress is with a scale.
Using a heart rate monitor I still track my weight, but also several types of heart rates.
