I definately do not want to roll over one day and say what happened to my life. I have been sort of a funk these past 6 months as I'm having a real hard time excepting that i'm middle aged. Never had a weight problem before but now I am overweight by 30lbs. It's making me crazy need your help guys. I'm not a fitess buff or do I claim to eat only healthy foods but I do need some advice.:( -------------- To old to get away with it. Too young not to!

It makes it easier in the long run, especially as gravity tries to take over. :) Most of us that have been at this lifestyle for many years eat just about anything we want, we've just made it a pattern to want what's best for us. :) I don't have any words of wisdom other than it's surprisingly easy to keep your body weight where you want it as long as you're able to make what some people see as concessions. It's pretty simple math, eat less than you need to maintain your weight and the weight will come off. Working out a little makes a major difference and you don't have to be obsessive to make it work.

I got a bicycle for Christmas and I ride that for 40 minutes to an hour every day. I'm one of those people that will stop completely if I lay off for a week, so I just keep filling in the reps and weights in the workout program and I try to eat BETTER - not perfect - just better than I would have before. I know that I am getting into the best shape I've ever been in and I am -gasp- 41! Just start and don't stop. Follow the workout plan, and six months from now, you won't believe the difference!:dumbbell:
