Hi All!
I started here 1 year ago went to ww lost about 10 lbs and gave up..
Pathetic huh? Anyway I'm back again. Saw some pics from mothers day and realized I'm looking way too old because of my weight. My face was never fat before just my bod. Now I hardly recognise myself!! I'm 6' tall and weigh in at 225lbs. Thats just fine if you are a muscular male, but I am NOT one of those.
I'd love to be described as elegant but no, I'm just BIG. Frankly this sucks.
What is motivating me the most though is that I'm 38 and 16months away from the big 40. I want to go into my fourties looking and feeling better than
ever. Lord knows I didn't do that in my 30's. This is going to be MY time to shine and accomplish all those things I need to do for myself and my family.
First and formost of which is to lose weight and GET HEALTHY!

Welcome back Deb! Good for you for taking the first step and coming back

I'm the same age as you, and I hear what you're saying about those 40's... there's no stopping them, so we might as well be fit and fabulous during them, right? RIGHT?! LOL!!

Okay, keep checking in - when you stop coming, that's when you've given up We'll have none of that!

Welcome (back) and Good Luck!!

Well I finally got the energy to get up and go joging ( OK walking) this morning
I guess iI've realized that if I actually want to do this I'll have to excersize at least 5 days a week, maybe 6. I hate it but thats life! I suppose that eventually it will energize me instead of making me feel like I've been run over by a truck. I suppose I'll have to quit with the 4 course meals too. OH WELL.
Good luck to us late 30somthings!!!

Hi Deb,

I'm also a six footer and relate to what you say about being BIG. It's hard to feel elegantly feminine at this size, but that's why we gotta hang in there! Good luck!

Hey All! Thanks for the encouragement! Heatherangel, Jollymolly and Wateraddict its so nice to know I'm not the only soon to be 40, 6ft woman who's having a problem with...Ohh let's see.. everything about her body!!
My whole excersise thing got put on hold for a couple of days. I made the mistake of working out with my 16 year old basketball player daughter. Bad idea! She about killed me!! But I'm getting back on track today. Diet is not where I want it to be either but I'm getting there. You know what they say,
Slow and steady winn the race!!

Hey All! I've been trying to add one of those weight tracker thingys and do't know if I'm doing it right. This is a test,this is only a test.
