[quote=Anonymous]You can do it, OP! When I turned 40 I decided I needed to make a change if not for me then for my son. I lost 40 pounds in a year (and have kept it off the last three) by first starting to track my calories and what I was eating. I logged every meal on the Fitbit app. I feel like it doesn't matter what app you use so long as you're comfortable with it and log every meal-no matter how horrendous you went off the rails. Once I had that under control, I began walking. First just 20 minutes extra with the dogs until eventually I was up to an hour a night after my son went to bed. Once I felt comfortable walking I started slowly jogging. Now I love running the local 5ks and I never thought it'd be something I could enjoy.

I basically decided to get my food under control first and then slowly incorporate exercise. It was hard at first especially with the exercise because I needed to do it during times that I would previously watch tv to decompress. Once I shifted my mentality that this is just another (more healthy) form of decompression, it made it a lot easier to keep it up. You've got this
