Women over 40, wanting to lose 20 lbs, support/motivation/success?

Did I ever sign on here?
I think I'm still in denial that I'm over 40 (even though I'm 44 <-- how is that possible? I feel like I'm 30!).

Appreciate all types of support.

Main focus = reduce body fat
Amanda
44
4'11" (so wicked short)
SW 128.5
CW 116.4 (1/4/17)
GW1 113.3 (lowest weight ever)
GW2 109.9 (just want to get pas 110)


I'm mainly low carb (hardly any sugary/starchy carbs), high protein, lots of water. (base on the Dukan diet)
Carbs for me is an addiction.
Once I start, I have trouble stopping.
Carbs also make me wicked bloated.

I'm sick of working out so hard to not see any results.
So I'm planning out my day (even week) to match my macros and try to stick to that.

Thanks for letting me join in this journey!
Amanda

Good job utahmom. It's moments like that and holidays etc few and far between moments that I will keep dieting for! As long as you are good the majority of the time you can afford a little wiggle room.
Ps I must ask.... you have 10 kids? I thought my 5 were a lot wowzers!

Thank you! And yep, 10 kids. All from my body, one at a time. My oldest is 22 and my youngest is 3. The three older kids (they are mine from a previous marriage and were actually raised by their dad and stepmom) are all grown up (22, almost 21, and will be 20 in June), two are married and one has a baby daughter. So I just have 7 at home ages 3 to 17. We homeschool the 7 at home so we have a pretty wild and crazy, but wonderful lifestyle.
