    It's never to late, but it is a gradual thing. Work on 10 now, then another 10.

    You know what it takes to take it off.

    You gained 15lbs a year for 6 years, that's 0.30 lbs / week. Easy to happen. Just eat right and exercise.

    You can do this!

    You know what you did to lose it and what you did to put it back on.. I have been losing weight for about 4 months and the struggle is real.. I would love nothing more than to come home and pound some spaghetti and meatballs or steak and potatoes .. but it’s salads and veggies instead

    You can do it

    Talk to your doc, I’m fixing to be 58 and have lost 31 since December by cutting back on carbs and staying active.

    . Its not easy. But it is possible. Remember how good you felt about it after you lost the weight.

    Five miles a day on tread mill, 200 set ups a day, eating salmon three days a week, baked fish three day week, almond's for snack time. Just don't think i can do this again though.

    This past January at the age of 50 I joined Weight Watchers and have lost over 55lbs. Big change at first and it’s not cheap. Fruits and vegetables aren’t cheap. But feel great and never hungry. Sure I miss some items like beer and my steaks but every now and again it’s ok to have a few.
    Good luck on whatever you try. You got this.

    I forgot who said it, but there’s a saying that goes “ If you think you can or think you can, you’re right”. You can do it.

    At least try to cut out some things. Maybe not as much weight loss at once but at least try. Do the walking or tread mill and give it a try.

    I'm a year ahead of you. A few months ago I was diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. Down 15 lbs since Jan. Now it's more about my health than my weight. Good luck RR.

I've lost 55lbs since New Years eve....it was my resolution...and i'm still working at it. The only thing that SUCKS are all the new clothes that you have to buy!!! Lol lol

    Have you tried a fasting diet? It is more about when you eat than what but if you combine it with eating right it works even better.
