Good Morning all, I am finally ready to get myself back in shape. I have always been a yoyo dieter and exerciser I am currently weighing 170 pounds and just do not feel good about it. My ideal weight is 140-145, I have really let myself get into a slump and am ready to get back to feeling good about myself. I have a hard time staying motivated but once I get started and feeling better about myself I am usually able to keep going. I will be using a food journal and various workouts. It seems the older I have become (46) the harder it is to lose weight, but I really believe that I need to restructure how I tackle my weight loss since my body and metabolism is different than when I was younger.

hi Coleen, welcome! looking forward to hearing about your progress.

it is hard to keep motivated, especially with tempting stuff all around us. Good luck!

Hi Colleen! This is a wonderfully supportive community and you can find lots of inspiration here to help you get going! Just take a look around and jump right in! I'm 54 and I'm still losing weight, so if I can do it, so can you! Good luck!

Hi Colleen, I know how you feel too! I used to be on and off also but since i've seen some results I've stayed motivated for over 2 years now and if I don't go once a day i don't feel good about myself haha
