Getting started tomorrow Fat and Forty

It's never too late to start! I've been on the flip side of 40 for almost four years now and I'm actually really enjoying it! I like lifting weights so this lady is one of my inspirations since she started lifting when she was older than I am now.

I am getting started tomorrow too. I need to get active and be held accountable for my diet and exercise. Good luck!

I'm 46, and 25lbs lighter and in much better shape than I was for most of my 30's!

Don't rush it - if you're starting new habits and routines, realize that it takes some time to figure out how to balance it all, and to do it sustainably - you want to lose the weight and keep it off for good, right? Use the tools here - log food as accurately as possible, and get yourself moving with exercise. Start slow, no need to go gonzo for 2 hours at the gym - this generally leads to burnout pretty quickly.

Set reasonable goals, and then go for it! As you reach those goals, set new challenges for yourself. I think that's been one of my favorite things about this whole process over the past few years - overcoming the challenges, and reaching higher every time! I've been amazed at what I've been able to do and the things I've achieved. I used to look at some workouts and think, "I can't do that, I'm too old/out of shape/broke or whatever. You can do anything you put your mind to.

Funny how tomorrow never gets here, start today.
