40+ lbs to lose, 40+ years old & unmotivated

I remember days in my 20's when I could skip breakfast and lunch for a couple days and drop 5 lbs by the weekend. Those days are gone.

40+ years old and 40+ lbs over weight. My metabolism isn't what it used to be and I'm finding it tough to get motivated.

I'm begrudgingly eating lots of rabbit food, which I really don't like, but the scale is moving in the wrong direction. Trying to move throughout the day, but motivation is lacking.

I feel all alone as I watch everyone around virtually "high giving" their successes.

Anyone else in my position?

    More than you would believe. I would bet that for every person celebrating success there are 100x that many wishing they had the motivation to do it as well.

    Maybe a nutritionist would help motivate you. Groupon occasionally has offers in the area for discounts on consults b12 shots, body comp, and supplements if you qualify.
