I have the same 10-15 pounds I've been carrying around with me the last 2 years. I get down to a "good" weight and then I just blow it off, thinking, I have a few pounds to spare ... then I find myself back to square one. I'm 43 yrs, 5'2" and weigh 139. I think that's too much for my height. I feel it in my joints. How do I convince myself to stick with it and get rid of my Monday diets (you know, "I'll start on Monday!"). |

Don't let anyone tell you that losing weight is "easy"... It's a long-term commitment to change and to breaking old habits that die hard, one day at a time. I started my fitness and eating well journey exactly a year ago when my weight was getting dangerously close to the 200 lbs. mark! The change was slow coming, but the excercice and eating habits I have acquired are there for the long run. I lost 25 lbs. this year without starvation or crash diets - just sensible, balanced eating and exercising 4 times/week. Pierrette |

It sounds like a lot of us have done this before. But the good news is if we keep trying, even a small amount of weight loss has health benefits. I have pre-diabetes and struggle to eat right every day. But I just keep plugging away at tweeking my diet to be healthier and add more walking and other activities little by little. I hope to see some loss this year. Michele |

I just turned 40 and I am the heaviest I've ever been, I want to get back to a size 10, I am 5'10" and 260 lbs! I started eating less, more veggies and I took a brisk half hour walk this morning, it's not going to be easy but I want to loose 10 lbs a month and maintain when I get to about 150. Am I on the right track? Katie |

I have Fibromyalgia and also find it difficult to exercise. I am single so I have no support. I try my best to eat the right foods. I have joined a gym and do water aerobics twice a week. Would love to know the medication Aran from South River, On got on that helped her lose weight. I keep trying. Marilyn |

I am over overweight by 100 lbs and really need help to changing my mind about the way I eat. I am 5ft 4in. and weight over 250 and am also 62 yrs. old. I have Fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis that makes exercising really hard for me. Have a hard time about how many grams of carbs in my food. HELP! Lorraine |

I have Fibromyalgia so exercising is difficult... I am wanting to lose 40lbs or thereabouts... I'm only 5ft and weigh 179lbs although I have managed to lose 10lbs since starting a medication for Fibro. Around 130lbs is a comfortable weight for me and I will do it... I cut out all my comfort eating which I did when I was in pain... you know, potato chips, fries, bacon sandwiches, chocolate... all the nice comforting stuff... I actually have potato chips in the house and don't want them now... :D Aran |

I had my 2nd child 4 months ago & have 40 lbs to lose. It's harder than it was 7 years ago & very frustrating. Caloriecount.com seems to be helping some. Good luck! Jamie |
