Seeking Truth and Kicking Middle-age's Butt!

I have watched myself slowly gain 17 pounds in the last year and a half... Middle age has hit hard and hormone replacement therapy has taken it out of control... my "waist" gain that is...!

Anyone else feeling this?

I believe I am finally at a point that I need to take drastic steps (yet again!) to get back to health and happiness...

My health numbers have all gone up... my clothes do not fit right (and I refuse to buy bigger ones!).

Here's what I am doing:

1. Took all measurements and faced reality. Yikes!

2. Joined WW online and tracking my food intake... UGGGH!!

3. Reducing my wine consumption by at least 1/3 :-(

4. Joined the Transformer Dietbet and went ALL IN! ($125)!!

5. Weighing in every Wednesday and taking measurements the 5th of every month.

6. Once a month (near the end of each month), do a 3-day juice and veggie fast.

7. Be more consistent with my strength-training workouts. 3 times a week!

Are you with me? Let's do this... What are YOU doing to take back control?

I'm with you, but you are a little ahead of me in your planning. I decided to join a transformer today,plan to weigh-in on Wednesdays and took my measurements. But I'm still figuring out the rest of my overall plan of attack to achieve my goals. We can do this and kick middle age's butt, or at least shrink it!!

Sally, Hope you have finalized your plan of attack and are working it! I'm really enjoying this journey so far...

Karen, Thanks so much for asking. I still haven't finalized my overall plan. I started employing tips/things that I knew worked for me in the past, but I haven't put the plan together in writing. I didn't do much fitness this past week, but made efforts to watch what I ate (portion size, saying no to junk/sugar). The result of these baby steps was 3 pounds dropped in week one. I need to take the time and figure out my schedule to fit the fitness in and start meal planning.
