Turning 46 stinks!

Well, gotta say that I have never really had to watch too much what I ate since I kept up pretty good with exercise over the years. But what happens at 45?!! All of a sudden the pounds start creeping on right under your nose. All my pants and skirts are SQUISHING me! I think I have gained about 10 pounds in 6 months. CRAZY! No menopause or anything special to go with it.

I signed up to keep myself on the straight and narrow by regularly doing my exercise and watching what goes in my mouth. I'd sure like these 10#s to fall away slowly so they will stay off! We AIN'T GETTIN' any younger.....

    yep. I agree as we age our metabolism slows down, but we can help it increase over time with exercise

    turning 46 certainly DOES NOT suck! It is better than the alternative.
    I'm 48 and managed to lose 20 kgs over 18 mths, only to gain 8 back when my son got ill.
    This is a great place to share the journey.
    Good luck to all
