Finally Fed Up and hoping it is not too late

It is never to late! I may be young but I come from a big family of big people. My aunt at almost 50 lost 60 lbs and is now 52 and has kept it off. She taught me the secret. DIET IS THE FORBIDDEN WORD!! Don't deprive yourself of the foods you love just use portion control. Eat what you love just less of it. And I agree with everyone on here be truthful with your food diary. It helps. Also I drink about a Gallon of water a day and have been power walking a mile every night. It's hard, it's painful, but I keep telling myself YOU WANT THIS, YOU NEED THIS, YOU CAN DO IT!! stay positive girl. I have 60 lbs to lose. I've lost 4 since tuesday. We can do it!!!

It's definitely never too late!! I have 99 lbs. to lose, and have decided to do it in 10 lbs. increments ~ just seems less challenging than tackling the big picture Also, @nichole8605 is right ~ make this a lifestyle change & not a diet

I'm 46 and was afraid my mobility had been permanently impaired and I'd never be able to get the weight off. After several months and about 15 lbs, there has been a huge improvement in everything. It is NOT too late!

Last client I had who started and had success at an "older" age was 74. She lost 45lbs.
