In reply to Sarah L. Awesome! Unfortunately I don't have access to a pool, so I walk as my form of cardio. I want to bump it up to jogging and I put gels in my shoes so we'll see how it goes

I was overweight at 50 and managed to lose my extra weight. I keep it off by swimming 3 times a week.

It ain’t what it used to be made me laugh out loud literally. Weight loss is such a hard thing and the older we get the harder it is, I would have to agree. Keep up the great work!

In reply to Amanda. I dislike changing my eating habits! I rarely drink beer, so that's not an issue. I historically have slow metabolism, so I've really got to crank it up to get my metabolism going

yes! It’s so difficult to lose weight as you get older. I’m realizing that more and more. It’s difficult to not only change your lifestyle habits but it’s also more difficult just because of your metabolism. It’s so easy to put the pounds on but so much more difficult to lose.

In reply to Jenn. We really don't think about when we're younger how the things we do then will affect us when we get older. Extra weight definitely wears on the joints and other areas of the body. It's really a catch-22: we're overweight and our bodies let us know, but in order to lose weight we have to put out energy and time plus be sore/in pain while doing so

I am almost 50, and my main concern is my weight. I’m having so many new aches and pains, it’s crazy. I’m also having some major foot pain, which is coming from the extra weight that I need to loose. It’s crazy how easy it is to gain, but hard to loose.

In reply to Nikki. I have back issues as well, so after about 45 minutes I'm done. I try not to skip meals, so it's a challenge to keep up on that. Thanks for the kind compliment ?

I am 42, and I’ve gained so much weight in the last five years that I want to cry. Some of it has to do with back issues (both the fact that I can’t exercise long and some of the meds I take for it), but a lot of it also has to do with the fact that I don’t eat right at all. I skip breakfast and lunch because I’m too busy working, then I’m starving at night and binge on snack foods. I need to make major changes. Congratulations on your own progress!
