Don't stop eating nuts. They are good for you, and the "fats" in nuts
are not a big deal. I've eaten lots of nuts my whole life; pretty much
daily.
Yes to limiting sugary drinks. Also stay away from artificial
sweeteners; they do more harm than good. Recent evidence suggests they
might be contributing to type 2 diabetes. They also play havoc with your
micro biome.

Yeah, I just got back from England and jumped on the scale. Arrgh.
I don’t drink sugared sodas so that is no problem, but my wife does
buy candy.
And I snack on nuts all the time too but I know they are pretty high
calories.
So, baby carrots and hummis I guess.
I can lose weight, much easier if my wife is on board.
We are empty nesters now and I am hoping to convince to help me with
this.

5 things that will help you loose and keep weight off
1. no Alcohol (you probably already do this chuck) or only a drink or
two per week
2. no added sugar. check every label on the food you eat and buy the
stuff without sugar or as little sugar as possible. the low fat stuff
usually means they added sugar so avoid it like the plague.
especially avoid high fructose corn sweetener.
3. no bread or very little bread. instead of a sandwich throw all the
sandwich fixins on a salad or lettuce wrap. or in the winter eat soup
(for some reason salad is not appetizing to me in the winter...prolly
because i'm already cold lol)
4. healthy snacks with no added sugar. get all your sugars from
fruits if you can (your body needs some sugar). unsalted nuts are
good, cheese as long as it's not in excess is good protein too.
5. 30 minutes of some kind of exercise. walk, bike, go to the gym,
whatever, just move around for 30 min.
you'd be amazed at what cutting out all the crappy sugar can do.
their is already a lot of sugar in everything we eat so try to cut it
out as much as possible.
I dropped 15lbs pretty quick once i got rid of sugar, alcohol (which
turns into sugar), and bread (carbs that turn into sugar). the
awesome thing is the weight stayed off since i've programmed myself to
avoid sugar.
2 cents, good luck!!

Thinking of getting a fitness tracker. Getting too fat this summer.
Does the fit bit only work with an iPhone? How do you charge them
and get the data out?
I am still running my iPhone 4 and bound and determined to use it
until it no longer works.
