Looking for motivating people late 40's and up

The challenges when you body really starts to change! At least for me, the 30's was ok, even the early 40's but now being 48, the body resists what I want it to do. Frustrating! The ups and downs of weight loss with less and less requiring more and more.

I'm a Canadian getting ready for the winter season - leaves already started turning. Where did summer go?!?:! I did not get where I wanted to be before Sept (too far now to reach that goal).

    I'm motivated and in my late 40's. I walk most days, log every day, paddle in a dragon boat a couple of times per week, and use Vivofit to keep me moving throughout the day.

    BTW I am Polly 274 on Garmin Connect and I am happy to connect with anyone who is interested in health and fitness.

    Garmin Connect is a web site/app that keeps displays steps and activities from some Garmin devices. I link it with MFP to have my calories/kilojoules counted against what I eat. Garmin Connect also has a social component to share activities with others.
