Back Again

I have been on and off this site for the past couple of years. I weighed 245 about eight years ago and lost 100 pounds. I kept the weight off for six years and in the past two years, I have gained 30 pounds. I'm scared of going back to where I was. I am 57 this month, have gone through the change and probably still am but getting hormone treatment, retired, got a part-time job I hated and quit, and then went through a low-level depression. The fog is lifting thank goodness.

I just got my real estate license but don't have much business so have all the time in the world to exercise but don't have the energy at the moment. I began living with my boyfriend two years ago and we both stopped working out and started eating waayyyy too much ice cream. That was the beginning of my weight gain. I am posting this because I want to be accountable and stick with it this time. I tried low carb and lost about seven pounds but I found it made me even more lethargic and cranky and gained it all back. Now I am trying to cut out the bad carbs and count calories. I know I need to get moving and would love to hear from anyone out there for inspiration. I love reading the success stories and hope that one day I can post one
