Could it be I want to lose weight bad enough to actually do it this time?

Your mind really needs to be 'in the right place' to diet successfully, and I speak from experience!Looking at the photos after my stay at my daughter's house for Christmas 2010 I was horrified to see how much weight I had put on. I had turned 60 just before Christmas and I was really feeling the extra weight that I had piled on over the last 18 months to two years. I knew that the only way I could possibly lose the weight was to return back to Weight Watchers and attend meetings, in my opinion the only sure way of losing the weight. I have had a long association with Weight Watchers and became a gold member in 1981 after losing 9 stone. Sadly age, health and family problems had taken their toll and here I was - 30 years later - bigger than ever!!After 4 weeks I was thrilled to have lost 13 lbs. At my third weigh in I received my first 'silver seven' and by week four was just 1lb off my 5% loss mark!! At the moment I still have 28 more pound to lose but I have lost 77 pound since the 11th January and feel fantastic!!

Hmmm...I think it's different for every one. This month last year i was 185 lbs. The other day I checked my weight and it was down to 150. I didn't work out at all. For me it was just a change in lifestyle. My sugar level is on borderline so my doctor advised me to cut down on my sweets...that was last september. Well I did follow her advice. I stopped going to my favorite cafe' (i used to go once or twice a week) and now i only get to eat my favorite cheesecake once a month or so. I stopped eating sweets in between meals. And i stopped drinking iced tea, juices, and sodas. Once in a while I'd drink a coke but always diet. I still eat chocolates and cookies and other sweets but not like before...everything is in moderation now. And my weight just went down little by little. So now i really feel good about myself.I'm losing weight without having to work out or starving myself. Just a change in lifestyle.

I had been to where I would count calories, exercised more and got to a platform where the scales just wouldn't budge. I got past that part when I found an article in a magazine and ordered a book on amazon called the dukan diet. Seems to be working out well for me. If you happen upon it and decide to do it, my best advice is to read the whole thing before starting the whole thing.

I also have same problem losing weight as I get older. It is due to slow metabolism that is why it takes time before we lost some weight. I am on a strict diet to reach my goal, since I am too lazy to exercise, so diet is the best way for me to lost weight. I wish you all the best on your aim to lost more pounds.

There is no good time or bad time to lose weight. Just maintain a good diet daily, do exercise you will lose weight naturally. try it soon.
