In my 50s and need to lose

carolwright15 · July 2019

I have not had a problem with my weight until my knee surgery, now i just cant lose it. Sugar is my addiction. Now my asthma and arthritis is starting to be a problem. Now my doctor is involved. I only need to lose 40lbs. I never thought it would be this hard.

Welcome to the community!

I haven't found this particular process difficult at all. I fill out my food diary a few days in advance. I find that it really helps me keep accountable and on track.

I eat mostly plant based with seafood, eggs and dairy. My cravings for other foods have disappeared naturally, which was an added bonus.

You can do this, but for me age does make a difference. Finally, at 53 I think I’ve figured out what works for me. I’ve lost 50 pound, but it’s taken over a year of hard work and persistence. I’d love motivation, the kitchen is where I struggle.
