Motivation for 50 Year Olds w/10 lbs to lose

Get moving! Buy a pedometer and add steps at your break and lunch or before/after work. Find some stairs to climb or get off the bus/train a stop or two early. Dance in your kitchen, walk a friend's dog. 3 hours a week won't cut it if you sit the remainder of your day. Are you logging everything? Eating too much/ too little? Are you eating enough fiber and drinking enough water?

...50 yrs old and the 10 lbs just doesn't want to come off. I sit at a desk all day, but do work out with a trainer 3 times per week and do eat pretty healthy. I lose motivation pretty easily so I need some help.

Ok, first, 50 is only a number and is not an indication of what you can achieve. You can reach your goal and do more than you think you can! Second, from what I have learned, if the weight isn't coming off then maybe you need to change things up a little and introduce a different type of workout. And third, try to think more along the lines of muscle, strength, and how you are feeling rather than weight. Or at least don't make weight your only measurement of where you are.

At work, you might want to see if your company might look into standing desks.

Be happy to help if I can.
