Just starting....
 

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! :welcome: 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
