I am 48 and weigh 182. Before I went on meds and I take 8. Most cause weight gain, I weighed 150. My weight has stayed around that for 8 years. Decreasing food is not helping.
My goal is to get back to 150-160.
I am open for suggestions.
Thanks,
Sheila

I just joined this group today. I would suggest, if you can afford it, to see a nutritionist. I did and it helped me tremendously. I don't see her anymore, as I have the food routine pretty much under control. Lots of protein and less carbs, and less than 6gm of sugar in every thing you eat. I kinda stick to that and for me it does work. However, I am doing this so that I will not become a diabetic. I am borderline, do not take meds and don't want to. So exercising for me is the best way and I love it. If I can find my food list from last year, I can email it to you if you'd like IF you don't seek the help of a nutritionist. Drinking lots of water also helps.
I just joined today, and I can identify with Sheila all the way "I'm just not motivated to work out anymore" and therefore I have gained all the weight back that I losted. I wouls love to have a copy of your food list.

Can you exercise with a partner? I bought a Zumba DVD set and joined a listserv. There are lots of them in the communities around me. Then I posted an ad for anyone that wanted to exercise.
Today I had my first home Zumbathon. We were three in all. I not only excercised through one DVD but did a routine on another...all because I had people right beside me. it was great.
