I am starting over, yet again. I've done most diets but have had the most success with Atkins. I do have a ways to go but am focusing on each day, heck at times it's more like each hour.

I am 53 and finally all the kids are gone and it is time to focus on me and getting a life. This (weight loss) and physical fitness were number 1 and 2 on my list. I'm working out with my oldest daughter as she gets ready for Navy bootcamp...my youngest daughter is already in the Navy. My list goes on, but I thought starting small was the best idea

I work in restaurant management, though I am home at the moment, but looking for work. I can't wait to get at it once again, but those carbs will be a lot harder to avoid when I'm working,

I'm looking for others in a similar age group to share encouragement and tips with

Welcome navymom56!

I'm sure you'll find some people here that share your age group.

Working in a restaurant makes it very easy - as well as torture - to LC, just stay away from the bread station! It's good that you'll get some LC time under your belt before working again.

Well, this time is the keeper, right?

What an exciting time in your life. All the kids gone and now finally time to focus on you!

You can do it and you are lucky you have the help of your daughter and all of us here
