Hi, I'm 51 and would like to lose 20 pounds. I have been feeling very unmotivated for several months and would love to share this journey with others.

Good morning and welcome! I too have been very unmotivated, but I’m inching back toward it. I’ve found a motivating factor that I hope will help me. I’m meeting my son for a weekend vacation in August and would like to be thinner than I am now by then. Not only am I embarrassed by how heavy I’ve become, but I would also like to have more energy to do things with him. Do you have a motivating factor? Can you come up with a target?0

Hi Marypat. I have my yearly physical in July and I want my numbers to look good. I also want to look better in a bathing suit as I am a big water person. And I want to have more energy. I just logged my breakfast.1

Those are great goals! There’s plenty of time between now and July to make sure your numbers look good! I lowered my cholesterol a couple of years ago by reducing cheese, which was hard but worth it, and processed meats, like salami, another favorite. You can do it!1

Thanks for the encouragement, MaryPat. My name is Audra btw.0

Hi Aubra! I just replied to your other post about having a great day and called you Sabie. I’ll get it right next time!0

No problem Marypat, lol. It's my husband's nickname for me.1
