48 and counting.....back on MFP for the 3rd time.....hoping to make it a lifestyle change this time!!!
I've been working out 4-5 days a week since the day after Christmas......down 16 pounds.....even though MFP only says 7.....I started out this time heavier than my last time....so, it didn't start showing a loss until I got back to my original start weight.
Short term goal is about 10 more pounds......then maintenance.....maintenance is the hardest for me.....that's when I slip back into old bad habits....
Come on....let's all support each other.

OK. I"m 44, almost 45. I have 29 lbs to get to rock bottom goal weight. I'm 6' tall so while that is a lot of weight - it isn't going to make a huge difference like it might if I was 5'2" tall. Will also be hard to reach - it was not a weight I sustained even when younger. It is the recommended weight range but I might be happy with 20-25lbs to reach goal. Anyway.....
I'm having a mini-mid life crisis moment I think. This round of weight loss has not been anything like how it happened pre-40's. It is harder for one thing and my boobs are shrinking at an alarming rate. That never used to happen. UGH. Nothing to do about it I suppose. My girls have nursed four babies and will never be the same anyway, lol.
My real problem is my waist. What the hell happened to it? Since I took a measurement I've lost 17lbs and done 30 day shred and not one millimeter has come off my waist. I'm sure my hips are a bit smaller based on my pants (I didn't measure them) so what that looks like is zero waist line. I don't need a teeny tiny waist but a bit of one! This is a lot of work and while I'd like to say it was all for health reasons - a big part is just vanity. I want to look better in what I wear and a waist is part of the damn deal !!!
What has been your experiences with your waist line? Do you think there is any hope that the last pounds to go are going to make a difference or is this just the new body I get now? :pout: I'm suddenly not liking my 40's so much anymore.0 -
