Good morning! Just introducing myself...I am a single mom of 2 girlies...a full-time Nursing student...and widow...I lost a huge amount of weight and got my tail back into shape a couple years ago after my husband passed, yet I have slowly gained a ton back! It's time for me to take a stand and reclaim my health, not only for myself but for my girls! It's a struggle and it's frustrating, but the journey is worth it! Anyone else find it harder to lose a lb after they reach 40! GRRRRR...so frustrating but staying positive and enjoying the journey! :)

    I've had trouble even maintaining since I hit 40.....(and maybe a bit earlier than that). BUT there are other issues at work here....Our bodies have so much to do, and being thin is not as important as being healthy! If we work out, and give our bodies the exercise they need, and if we eat a healthy balanced diet, giving our tissues the nutrition they need, THEN we will be healthy, and at a healthy weight!

    REMEMBER: We didn't gain this weight over night! So how can we expect to shed it that quickly?!?!?

    Enjoy the ride to improved health! =)
