Starting over, yet again

avjets

Hello All,
I am once again starting a weight loss journey. Was doing great a few years ago and then slid. Was doing well last year and then new job, house etc and I am back where I started, not an excuse just the truth. I am about to turn 44 in a few weeks and embarking on a new journey starting this weekend I am calling "Mission 45". The mission is by the time I turn 45 I want to be down 35 lbs. Current stats 5'8" 217 lbs. In the past I have tried to do 1.5 lbs lost per week and was successful but not at maintenance. I would really like to make this the lasting, lifelong journey and do this at a more realistic pace for my lifestyle. I am active and workout 5-6 times a week.

Any advice, wise sayings, kick in the pants, you would like to offer would be extremely appreciated.

Thank you and the best to you and your personal journey!!

Sean
