Hi there,
I lost 41 lbs, (weight watchers without the meetings) gained back about 10, and was stabilized there. (137) I have been off work 14 months, and have had 5 surgeries- two of them on my foot. I have gained weight and now weigh in at 173. The best weight for me is 120-125. I am not quite 5' 2" losing 48-53 pounds at age 45 is scary, and I agree about the small goals.
I didn't do any exercise last time, and now I am so out of shape I am concerned about the ability to do my job. I am getting ready to go and walk a track near my house now that the heat has broken. I am thinking of trying Pilates and lifting free weights too. I have 6 weeks to get fit enough to work a 40 hour week in a factory,which I will have not done in 16 months!!!!!
ANY tips would be appriciated!!!!

Lisa,
I logged in and read your story of your weight loss. Wow you go girl. I lost 103 pounds and have kept it off now 2 yrs. It is hard and you have to learn a whole new way of eating food. I have lost friends due to I no longer eat what is called junk. I watch it. I went from a size 18 to now a size 3-4. Just remember that you have come a long way and do not look back. I still have to excersice and do not eat late at nite. and I am 5ft3. My owm mother can not believe how much i have lost and sometimes tells me that i need to eat more. Well I eat ,just the helthy stuff. Keep your hard work and stand up and pat yourself on the back.. Good for you..
Anita
