40something newbie!!!
 

Hi all,

I've just joined the site and hoping to get to know some new people and find some inspiration and motivation on here.

I'm 41 and finding it harder and harder to shift the excess weight that seems determined to stay around my middle, I feel like I'm constantly modelling a rubber ring these days. At the beginning of the year I weighed 150lbs and was relatively happy apart from a need to tone up. I then decided to stop smoking and now 9 months later weigh 175lbs. I'm so disappointed in myself and feel horrible that I have let myself put on this weight.

I have blamed stopping smoking for the gain but now I wonder if maybe this is the middle aged spread I was always told to expect as I got older. Any ideas??
