    Never too late to start. I’m 48 and finally getting serious about it. Good luck!

    Just be sure to log every bite. Adjust when needed. Definitely plan ahead to avoid cravings. I feel like I lose weight when I eat the same meals each day- or the same breakfast and lunch maybe. Keep it simple. Good luck! Think of the first 5 pounds. Get there and then the next five. It will take awhile to break some bad habits. You’ll feel deprived. My friend always says skinny tastes better.
