Hi, my name is Cindy and I recently found this board.

I am in my late 40's and am planning on getting the

weight I gained 2.5 years ago off before I turn 50,

soon enough!

For the 30 years prior to that I was my normal

106 to 110 pounds, so as long as I am inching

toward that I think I'm doing good. Have been

losing about 1 pound a week since May 1.

I am only 5 feet 1 so I don't need much.

To do this, I've been working out 4 or 5 times

a week, and eating sensibly instead of going on

a diet. I've never been on a diet in my life because

I hear of too many failures.

In between all that are the days that I "eat" lol,

you know, the parties, the girl lunches etc etc.

Add to that my family of 4 kids and 5 grandkids and

the spouses and everyone else, a huge extended family,

makes for a wholotta eating lol!

Its a good thing that my slim husband will

eat whatever I put in front of him as he is interested

in protecting his health as well.

I hope to be here alot.

Hugs,

.

Welcome, Cindy! Sounds like what you're doing is reasonable, and you've got the right mindset. There are no quick fixes at any age, but especially when age starts slowing the ol' metabolism.

Eating the wrong foods is my downfall - I eat the right foods at dinner and often at lunch, but I add too many of the snacks and sweets. I've been exercising, so I know the eating is what has to change. Like you, I'm looking for moderation and better choices rather than a diet. But I'm also holding out for a reasonable goal too. I don't think I'll ever be the weight I was when I was 25, and I'm not sure that'd be a good weight for me (or I'd have to do the wrong things to get there).

Anyway, best of luck, and hope to see you here often!
