It's interesting to note that I posted this thread as an invitation for those 60 and over to provide some feedback and share their experience on their Paleo/Primal journey and have not had any responses from anyone in that age group. Not sure if its because there aren't many people 60+ doing Paleo or that this age group doesn't frequent the internet. Most of bloggers are in their 20s through 40s it seems.

Hi Canuck:

Sorry that when posted to your journal I did not identify but I am very close to moving to Medicard age (Dec.). I have lived the primal life since Jan. 2011 and have lost and kept off 15 lbs. I do not post pics and mine surely would not look like how good yours do. From years of yoyo dieting I have extra skin and have not begun the PB workout suggestions. I know, I know. I mean to but....

I have recently recommitted to following the plan a tad more closely; meaning, no alcohol or grain products. While I have managed to stay away most often, I still find it difficult during the summer living on a lake and with picnics and in potluck group settings. I still have not committed to the workout plan. I'm not a couch potato, honest.

I'm 55 Canuck, can you wait 5 years? ;)

Nice one mate - you look ass-kickingly great. Excellent work.

No problem, thanks for letting me know. Good luck on your re-commitment to Paleo! Keep me posted on your progress.

Thanks CavemanCoder! Appreciate the compliment.

Hi, Canuck416: Just thought I'd respond and start by congratulating you: Your physique is amazing. One thing that struck me about your post is that my day is almost identical to yours, which is interesting to me. I'm female, 48 and been paleo for 7.5 weeks. I'm just wrapping up my 2nd, "Whole 30". Since about week 4, I've fallen into a pattern of eating a late breakfast around 11- 11:45am and then nothing until dinner around 5-6pm. I exercise daily. I've lost 12lbs and around 7". Now that the fat is falling off, I'm switching gears and really focused on my daily workouts which I look forward to. I mix up the workouts with some hiking, walking, weights etc. There's much work still to be done. My focus is not 100% on weight: My focus is on creating a body what is low in fat, muscular and powerful. I think I'm ready to post a 7.5 week photo in the next day or so and will search for a 'before photo' which, by most standards, wouldn't be considered all that bad. I am very disciplined and have always worked out but an MBA education over the past years has reduced me to a softer state than I would normally find acceptable. Anyway, I'm back on the path to a more powerful body and I'm looking forward to tracking the measurements now. As a final thought, I would again just like to congratulate you on your state of health, and the discipline that you quite obviously demonstrate. Cheers, louisa
