Default Finally the kick in the pants I needed

OK this is part vent and part introduction. My name is Lola. I turned 50 last Nov, gained 20 lbs back (over the past year) of the 40 lbs I shed after my divorce 3 yrs ago and my doctor has put me on blood pressure meds because my bp was too high today. To top it off I have a dear friend who is a like partner in crime when it comes to eating and exercising and feel like our fun together is over Of course I am being overly dramatic, I realize I need to make lemonade - low cal of course - out of lemons. I go on a cruise in 4 weeks and beforehand plan to work on the issues preventing me from losing weight, like my love of candy, naps, comfort food etc. Improve the things I do well for myself like exercising, cooking healthy meals (when motivated and a good attitude. I'd like to use the cruise as a means of getting more exercise, eating better (no junk food!) so when I return I am refreshed and ready to do the hard work that is needed to move forward. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Lola, welcome, glad to have you join us. I suggest you look for a Challenge or Support group to join; small check-in groups make it easier to connect, get involved, and be accountable. We have groups centering around specific diet plans, themes, or age groups, so find one that inspires you and just post to join! Be sure to check out the 50+ group, Dieting with Obstacles, and we have a Restarters Relosing group in 100lb forum.
