(OPENPRESS) Mar. 14, 2008 - Bloomfield, MI – There are more than 72 million obese adults, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and most of them struggle to stick to their goals and resolutions to lose weight.

Unfortunately, most new year resolutions are broken within a very short time, according to reports. Many adults over 50 are turning to a health and wellness web site designed just for them to get the help they need to achieve their health goals for the new year.

The CDC recently reported that one in three U.S. adults is obese. Those calculations are based on the body mass index, which relates height to weight. For example, a woman who is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 186 pounds or more is obese. So is a man who is 5 feet 9 inches and weighs 203 pounds or more.


Adult obesity is twice as common as it was 20 years ago, and it makes conditions including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and some cancers more likely, according to the CDC.

For people over 50 who want to lose weight and find help with those and other health concerns, there is a web site designed to help them quickly and easily without cost or the risk of giving personal information over the Internet.

The site is located at http://www.50PlusWebHealth.com where information and help can be obtained without entering personal information with a simple click of the mouse.

The site makes it easy to find the resources that make resolutions easier to achieve, and it provides help with all the most common health concerns for people over 50. It is also very simple to find the desired information without any computer training or skills. Just point and click, without the need to enter personal information or register, so there is no security risk.


“We make it easier because there are so many forms of support and help for people to use. We have done all the exhaustive research and complied everything in one place to make it simple and easy to find. Plus, it is free, so you can’t beat that,” said William Person, founder of the site.

About 50PlusWebHealth:
William Person of Bloomfield, MI created 50PlusWebHealth.com to provide older adults with quick easy access to important health information without the need to reveal personal information of any kind.

Calorie Count Plus

February 28th 2008 18:53
In my quest for accountability for my eating and exercise, I found a website Calorie Count Plus which offers free advice for weightloss. Whenyou register, it will give you an analysis of what your goals should be. It tells you what you should weigh, based on your height and other information you provide, and provides an estimated goal date for reaching your ideal weight. It tells you how many calories you should eat in a day and how many you need to burn in order to lose the weight. Then you can use the food log - which has a huge database of nutritional information on different foods - to keep track of what you eat during the day. There is also an excercise log - where you can track calories burned throughout the day. You can also keep a journal, and there is advice on exercise and nutrition.

I haven't been through everything offered yet, but I think this will be a good way to keep me on track. If I have to put in the food I eat every day, and the activities I do, it should help me to do better. It will also let me see that a little slip doesn't do as much damage as I usually think, so it will be easier to get back on track.

Actually, I found that I didn't eat as much as I should. My goal for daily calories, according to the analysis provided, is 1550, yet I only consumed 950 yesterday. That sounds good, but I've read enough to know that it is better to get enough calories to keep your body from storing fat. (If you don't get enough caloires in a day, your body reacts as if you are starving, and holds on to as much fat as it can. When you get enough calories, and burn more, your body will begin to burn fat instead.)

For anyone who is serious about trying to lose weight, and wants a daily accounting of calories and activities, this is a good website to use. I'll post in a week about my progress to see if I've lost any weight. I feel better already, just knowing I'm committed to eating healthier.

Losing Weight the Healthy Way

February 27th 2008 18:12
The thing is, I KNOW the right way to eat and lose weight. The problem is, I DON'T follow my own advice!

I've struggled with weight most of my life - ALL of my adult life. I was "chubby" when I was a pre-teen, dieted (not in a healthy way) when I was a teenager, and have been fat since I got married and had babies. Now, I'm not just fat, I'm OBESE! I currently weigh 210 pounds. This is how much I weighed at full term pregnancy, and it was too much even then! (and since my youngest is now 12, I have no excuse!) I'm only 5'3" tall - so I should weigh about 125-135 pounds (depending on the chart I'm looking at

December 18, 2007 -- Pioneered by Joseph Pilates almost a century ago, the Pilates discipline of body conditioning is a uniquely precise exercise designed to lengthen and strengthen muscles and improve posture without stressing the joints.

“Pilates is actually one of the safest forms of exercise, causing less stress on joints and muscles than aerobic activity such as jogging,” said Daren Fletcher, founder of Posture Dynamics. “It is an activity I recommend to my clients as it can help with specific injuries and is a great de-stresser

Vegetarian Meals

As I stated in a previous post, my daughter has decided not to eat meat. I hesitate to call her a vegetarian, because she really doesn't like vegetables much. I'm trying, therefore, to find foods she likes, that don't contain meat
