I’m turning 45 this year and I am the poster child of “letting yourself go.” I need to lose 30-40 lbs. It’s amazing how much my self esteem is wrapped in my weight. I know I should be happy with whatever weight - but it is impacting my health and dang those spanx dig into my stomach!

Welcome! I’m pretty new here myself. I’m pretty new here myself. I’ve put on about 50 lbs in just over 3 years. Now I’m trying to take it back off.
My plan is to eat less (1800 calories a day) and to start moving more (staring with a daily walk of about 2 miles). I’m hoping to loose 2 lbs a week but we will see over the next few weeks if that is too aggressive of a goal.
What’s your plan to shed the weight?0 -
Definitely portion control!0
