Come on no one can answer that question. The better you continue to live your lifestyle, low fats in your diet, low cholesterol, low salt, you know all the stuff you used to and still like, you need to cut down on. Anything in moderation is still okay though. You know, when the grandkids come to visit with the son/daughter, it's just fine to go out and enjoy a great meal at "Out Back Steak House" or "Ponderosa" or the like. But in the meantime, you really need to watch your diet, as you know, or you're not going to live as long. And that was just a period I left back there (after the word "long"). In the meantime get your act together paperwork wise. Get your living will, and your last will together, and stuff like that. You can get a check-list for that sort of thing from the source below for $1.00 and a S.A.S.E. Or check out other sources.

NO!\nI'm 33 5'3 and weight 117\nYou need to eat. a person still growing eats more then a adult man. Or is suppose too. by not eating you are messing your body up and you'll get older and blow up like a balloon!\nWhen I was your age I weighted 133 and wasn't fat by far.\nGO eat. :)

I am 6' tall, about 240 lbs., and 46 years old.  I would love to lose about 50 pounds but at this point in my life I don't think its likely to happen.  I think a person just needs to be happy with who they are.

We all are self conscious to some degree.  The key is not to obsess about things.  I think dieting is ok if done properly and for the right reasons.  A persons health and well being is important and a good diet is important to that.

compare the rate of it now to 50 years ago (many people will be alive in 50 years).  Then compund that to what it would be in 2056 (eek, I'd be 75) and tell what would be affected.  Or just tell them how hot their ass are going to be when they are old and trying to stay alive.

A good way for anyone to loose weight is eat right and exercise.  I don't think age matters on this question.

If you're wanting to lose weight, you should talk to a nutritionist. At your age, you should know what foods to eat. \n\nDiet isn't about what you eat- it's a lifestyle change :)

I believe that no diet is the best diet. The human body has a sophistication to marvel at. If we leave the body alone to do what comes naturally, it knows instinctively what it needs. Scientists will take thousands of years to figure out things that the body now knows by natural instinct. I love science, but the media is having a wonderfully lucrative time putting everyone in a frenzy with something new every day that just serves to increase their viewer ratings.

You should never go back to the way you used to eat when you hit the 80's... You have to stick to the system you followed to lose weight. I do that, I was 70 and now I linger between 49 and 53.. when I eat more (or fattening food) I go up to the 52-53 & I FREAK OUT and realize I should watch it.. I go back down to a 48-49...\nIts a lifelong battle coz WE (people who were bigger & lose weight) are always prone to gaining it all back if we dont take every bite into account.\nIts difficult but it will become your lifestyle & you'll get used to it.. \nRight now even Im in my "bad" phase (up to 52) and Im working on getting back down... it happens but YOU LIMIT IT.\nBut never think that all the celebrities who are all thin & gorgeous get there by eating doughnuts & pasta everyday =)\nGood luck

ten-year old children shouldn't "diet."  They should eat well and exercise -- just like everyone else should!

Atkins diet, as long as you are...say 37 and under, all protein diet.

Do it now...your life will be transformed.  No need to wait till you're 65.  Try it...tonight...you'll feel...invigorated, like you're swimming in a sea of bubbly water.  And your evening food experiences will never be the same.  \n\nOr you could keep saying 'Dinner' and be stinky.

i'm almost positive no one has.  but medicine has made amazing advances in the past years and people are now starting to live into their 40's and 50's.  so someday, it may be possible, but i'm pretty sure it hasn't happened yet, especially since someone who'd be old enough to have lived that long, would have been born with the disease when you ALWAYS died of it before you turned 20.
