Just Starting on a healthier me.

I need to hear that it gets easier too! I just started (or am trying to stay committed) because everytime it gets too hard or I get too sore... I stop. Stay focused on your goals and know that it will be worth it in the end. :)

you will become addicted to the pain. good luck. :)

I am 63 and just got fed up with carrying this extra weight. I especially wanted to lose the pounds for springtime and have tried so hard these past months to get down to a reasonable weight. I went shopping last week and a pair od jeans that I would fit into only after loosing 10 pounds. Also 8 days ago I started (out of desperation) a liquid diet. I drank a shake (from the grocery store in the cereal aisle) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. In between I drank water and tea. So far I have lost 6 pounds and can almost fit into my new jeans. I plan to stay on this diet for another week or until I fit my jeans. This is not a long-term solution but a short-term one and for me it's working. One day at a time...one meal at a time...

Hi Crystal be encourage and stay active with the boys. You have a chance to get your weight loss under control because of your age. 6 mo before I turn 40 all of a suden I went from a 14-18. I am 50 y/o and I wear 22-44. I am not have as active, broke my ankle in 2006 which has cause other health problem. My reason for telling you this is to say as you get older your metaoblism sllllow down. I took karate with my sons, take a dance glass at the Y, go walking with the boys make be in the mall just don't give up and cut back and stay active

Start small and keep the faith you'll reach your goals. :)
