Well, I just turned 40 this year and have thought about how many years I have struggled to keep my weight down. I am 150 lbs., and want to lose AND KEEP IT OFF, at least 20 lbs. I have been trying for years! I can make it to 137, then it slowly starts coming back on. I have belonged to a gym for at least 4 years and stay pretty regular at it. I just don't understand how I can put the time into the gym but still watch the weight come back on. Holidays seem to destroy my goals and then I'm back to the beginning. I started going to the gym before leaving for work, because I can't seem to find the energy or motivation to do anything (let alone physical activity), when I get home from work. I sure hope I can stick with this forum because I'm hoping that if I commit to visiting it everyday, it will help me focus more on weightloss throughout the day.
