HI there! Ii'm 45 turning 46 this month. I just quit smoking Jan 1st (After starting again becase i had gained so much weight from quitting the 1st time).
But now i've quite again this time for good!
I had 200 pounds to loose but i've lost 9 this month so i have 191 to go. Seems like a number that is too big to handle so i try to think of it in smaller chuncks.
I'm only 46 but take medication for blood pressure, depression and starting down the road to bad colesterol and i'm pre diabetic. I want these ailments out of my life for good and i know the only way to do it is to shift this weight off of me. (i can say things like "shift the weight" because i lived in England for a year so i'm honorary) LOL
It's great to hear from so many folks in my age bracket with some of the same struggles that are motivated! I just wonder how many out there have a battle as large as mine and if so have they been successful?

My problem is getting motivated to MOVE MOVE MOVE! I don't know if I was meant to be a skinny girl, but I darn sure wasn't meant to be a fat one...at least not anymore! LOL Feel free to add me...the more support we all have, the better! :bigsmile:0

Hey Susan,
You've lost 9 lb !!! You no longer have 200 lb to lose !!!!
You'l get there, bit by bit.
Definately think in smaller chunks. I personally would rather go up the way.
I lost4lb, then 3lb, 7lb so far. Now I'm at 16lb so far.
It's easier to see that small number getting bigger than a big number
getting smaller, but whatever work for you !!0 -
