Back on track and would love some new support

Me TOO!!! Just rejoined today and i have 50 pounds to drops!

You can do it!!!!!! I have never exercised until 4 month ago at age 48, been on a lot of diets (first one at age 12, started by my mother), had resigned myself to being fat for the rest of my life in my 20s and then with my husbands health issues mostly resolved and the birth of our first grandchild he needed to get back into shape. So tagged along at first, but by now (he had lost his 35 lbs) I am continuing on my own will. He is still maintaining his, but I am about halfway there (44 lbs lost of 86 lbs). I think, what is different this time is the mind set : diet = bad word, lifestyle change = the right word..... you have to come to the conclusion that whatever you were doing was something you can never go back to, but you can still have some of the "horrible" food items, but just in moderation and only once in a while and not every day, plus you have to work for them...... also if you fall (go over on your calories, fat etc) you just have dust off, be a little mad at yourself and promise yourself you will do better tomorrow!!!!!......AND ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR YOU AND NOT ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!.......and yes exercise is the key to speed things up and also for earning yourself treats (and not going over your daily calories)...:-)

I sent a friends request, I would like to help motivate you in your journey

take care!
