A new approach to my fatness!
Morning All! I am BRAND NEW here on FD. Found it via google - really liking what I see so far. I, like most of you, have tried everything possible with the exception of hermetically sealing my mouth shut, to lose weight. I have blossomed into a number that I thought was only real when it came to bad cholesterol. I am embarking on a health journey with a friend and a health and wellness coach. (Notice I didn't use the "d" word). We are going to be blogging our journey together. I'm thinking if I make it real and put out all the vulnerability for others to read, MAYBE that will make me more accountable and honest. I've read a few posts so far - LADIES OVER 40 TAKE HEAD... I TOO AM ONE OF YOU.... can you say "hotflash"?! Looking forward to reading your posts, showing support and taking on this new journey. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Welcome MNrockstar! Fitday will work - as long as you put the effort into it, and it sounds like you've got the right attitude, and off to a good start.
40's is much tougher than the 30's, I'm looking at 45 in the near future, and have lost 16# in 12 weeks.

I hope you are successful. I too am a 40s [late] woman and battling the number that should never have shown up on my scale. My gym buddy and I have been going to the Y for about two years now and have seen little [her] to no [me] success. But I'm not giving up. Finding the Fit Day will let me know what I'm doing and it gives me the nudge to be very truthful. I hope to learn some from these forums and hope I can bbe helpful to others in the future.
P.S.
This is the first time I've ever been involve with a blog.

I too am over 40
Hi all. I'm not just over 40...I'm actually 50 but I too am changing my lifestyle to get healthier and lose weight. I want to eat everyday food and normal portions and stop eating for any reason other than being hungry. I want to eat to survive, not survive to eat! Why didn't I think like this 30 years ago!! Anyway I'm here now and living in the day. I've gained much inspiration and encouragement from reading Sean Anderson's blog. I encourage everyone to check it out! I started reading from Day one and have learned so much. I'll put the link below. Good Luck everyone!
