Okay over 50 and can't drop the weight!

[Zen]

The two that stick out in my mind are 1) eat breakfast, and 2) exercise EVERY day. That's how they control their hunger and their weight.

Another thing these people do is eat mostly the same things all the time. It's not as boring as it sounds. I found I actually like oatmeal and I like beans. The thought of a sugary cereal or sausage gravy and bicuits does cross my mind but doesn't stay there long. The harm outweighs the good. Which is not to say I don't have those thing once a year or so.

I can do 30 reps with 10 lb dumbbells.

Try switching that up to 15 reps with 15 lbs...
