My fitness over forty, pushing fifty

Posted on January 19, 2016

Hello all! I am excited to be here. I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life, doing well for a while and then gaining weight back, as many others have done. I am now in my forties and realize I really need to make some important life changes. Eating is my downfall and I am making some gradual, but drastic changes in order to change my life. I am working on a gluten & sugar free diet with one cheat meal a week. I HAVE TO do this for my health. I am pre-diabetic and do not want to become a diabetic. I think joining DietBet and this community will really help me with motivation and success! I'm glad to be here!

I too am on the same path as you. It is difficult but all with support we can do this... I am 47 (soon to be 48), heavy all my life and food is my issue as well. Have you started regular exercise or are you concentrating on diet as a start? I have recently gone "flexatarian", meat two to three times a month, other than than mostly vegetarian. It has helped, but it's been tough. I wish you luck and look forward to more posts.

Hi there! I am 46, soon to be 47 on 2/24/16. I have been excersising pretty regularly most of my life, so that's one plus on my side. I just need to push myself harder when I workout. Food is really my downfall. Sweets and carbs are my addiction. When I don't eat them for about three days it gets easier and I feel like I'm more in control of my food choices. I also only seem to over eat when I have sugar and carbs in my diet. After doing the research I see how it all works in my body and WHY I feel out of control when I'm eating sugar & carbs. Now I just need to take the steps to get them out of my diet most of the time. Good luck to you!
