Tired of feeling discouraged

The more support the better I always say, which is why I made my partner do this plan with me. I just turned 49 in July and, while going through my photos, I became fed up of feeling discouraged and not wanting my picture exposed. I really want to do this and become successful. I am currently not working, going to college to obtain my Masters in Mental Health counseling, through menapause, diabetic, bad knees and back, and sleep apnea. I absolutely hate to exercise and would rather get it other ways like cleaning my house, gardening, walking at the mall, etc. I want to be healthier by the time I reach 50. I love my chocolate, desserts, and snacks and would love to have friends along the way to a new success. :)

    We all feel discouraged along the way...the thing I have found most helpful is surrounding myself with supportive people. They have picked me up during the hard times, and have been there with a simple little compliment just when it is needed the most! Feel free to add me as a friend. I'd love to be your cheerleader. This journey is too hard to walk alone!

    I just turned 49 a couple weeks ago and I know how you feel. We all do get discouraged along this healthy lifestyle journey. I still have another 50+ lbs. to lose and feel like I am never going to get there. Having all the supportive friends that I have found on mfp have really helped me get through the rough times. I am a diabetic with sleep apnea. I also have a bad knee and back problems, but I also have a bad heart and other problems. Feel free to add me for support and encouragement.

    I am 64 and I too know how you fell and have some of the health problems you have, I am also a diabetic, have bad knees and back and also chronic fatigue, I do exercise most days simply because I have too. I am struggling getting my weight off so also get dissappointed. Feel free to add me, I love supporting peole and expect to be supported in return.
