I am mid 50s, 6 foot male - went from 258 to 210 just doing WW (over a 6 mo period), maintained for another 6 mo - then joined a gym, started going more veggie/vegan, do the elliptical with some weights and sit ups - went from 210 to 196 over another 6 mo - holding around 202 right now (holiday eating, winter, no gardening!).

I feel much better having done that damned elliptical thing at least once per week. Yes, the heart rate climbs....and I can't believe how much I sweat!

good luck!
