Hola from Texas

HI ARALU,
I am from Boston Massachusetts. I will soon turn 60. I have a 27 yr old daughter. I joined myfitness pal last week also. I had been doing another diet program since 6/18/13. I lost 32 lbs. However it has been getting expensive to order the food especially w/ the holidays coming. I had been doing 30 -45minutes of exercise a day. I was so unmotivated the 2 mths before I decided to start this. I kept thinking "why bother you'll just fail again". However another women in work had been dieting in a similar way and it was working for her that I decided to try it. I was eating the food and I was doing 10-15 minutes on the eliptical 1-2 days a week before work. Then 5 days a week I was walking to the train station to get the bus to work. The walk is about 20-30 mins. I decided to do this because I want to keep my independence as I age. It's also a way for me to remeber to take care of me. My current goal is to lose another 11-12 lbs. Then reevaluate. I need to take it slow or I will be over whelmed. I also need people to motivate me to keep going. I also use the scale each week as a motivator. You can do this just set reasonable goals and you will be renergized to keep going as you meet the goals. Keep in touch
