Turning my life around

Hello everyone! I'm new here.

In just a little over a month, I'll turn 50. This is not how I want my life to be....."fat and 50." My goal is to be "fit and 50."

For most of my life, I've prayed and prayed for help with my uncontrollable appetite and unwholesome lifestyle which has resulted in a very unhealthy weight that has contributed to a worry of having high sugar, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and an overall feeling of hopelesness and helplessness.

I recently joined a new gym, and today I begin "Fitness Pal."

I'm turning my life around, and today is the first day of the rest of my life.....and that life is going to be a healthier one.

    Hi Kirby! You've come to the right place ... welcome! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    I'm going to be 50, too, in about six months. I finally decided that I had let fat rob me of my life for far too long. I like your quote ... and it's very true ... if you persist day by day you will succeed!

    A tip that lots of people shared with me when I joined was to log everything BEFORE you eat it. That has helped me a lot! Also, there are message threads at the top of the General Diet board that are super helpful, so read those as you have time.

    You're going to love it here! I wish you lots of success!!
