I can't go on holiday again overweight

My goal is twofold; to be slim by the summer and this time - to keep it off permanently. I have 45 pounds to lose and I miss being slim and active so much! Now its twice the effort to do anything!

I lost all the weight in 2009 and felt fit and fabulous. Since then I've put 2/3 of it back on. This time I'd like to lose the weight no matter how long it takes and keep it off forever.

I enjoy cycle touring especially when I'm a bit slimmer. Now its a bit uphill even when its not....

Its never too late although its a lonely journey so any encouragement along the way would be appreciated.

    It's not lonely here!:smile:

    What will you do differently this time? Isn't it going to be great to see your family and friends next holiday season and be itty bitty?:wink:

    Losing weight isn't the hardest part- it's keeping it off, been there done that:flowerforyou:

    I'm not honestly sure yet although I think portion control and sticking to an exercise schedule come what may. And you?

    How do i say this...you have it in you to be the fit person you wish to be. Trust in your goals, if you get of track , just redirect. Each of us has it in them to change and improve. Wish you all the luck.

    Thank you. That is very helpful. I know I can do it and keep it off if I put my mind to it.
