My weight loss journey
My name is Rose. I'm 61 and over the past 10 years or so have found myself in a position I never thought I would be in-- overweight! I had always been underweight, weighing around 100 until I started menopause and my metabolism started to slow down and my weight started going up until now I weigh 155, which might not seem like alot to a taller person, but on someone who is 5' 1 1/2" it is a big deal. So, now I need to get motivated to lose weight in a healthy way and get the exercise I need ...

So, now I need to get motivated to lose weight in a healthy way and get the exercise I need to tone my problem areas-- belly, butt, and thighs. I walk occasionally but not enough to do much good. I just need motivation to stick with it and make it a habit. I have been trying to practice portion control, using the plate method, but I still stray from that occasionally. I need motivation with that too. I just want to eventually get to a weight that is more healthy for my height.

it is all about one healthy choice at a time!!!
Thanks for the add and I have added you as well. I have made a commitment to myself to check in on Spark Friends at least once a week...it may be a goodie, a comment on your page, a comment on your blog, or a comment on your feed. Feel free to give a shout out if ya need extra support some time...we all do!!! Have a great week! Spark On!!! 
on taking the first steps to a healthier you. A 
toast to a healthier and more enjoyable life! 
prayerfully you will find that you can enjoy it more than you would ever imagine!!! 
to Spark People. 
don't 
to the temptation of making the journey all about the numbers. It is not about pounds taken off or inches trimmed, it is all about creating a healthier and more fit you. 
Be on the lookout for the many, many, many non-scale non-tape measure victories you will achieve. Feeling healthier, breathing easier, enjoying activities that were once a drudgery, trying something new and enjoying it, choosing a healthy snack versus an unhealthy option, choosing a less than healthy food option over a decadent food option! The possibilities for non-scale victories are ENDLESS. 
drink plenty of water every day! 
sleep well, it is probably more important than you know. 
healthier every day. 
every day. 
when you need to --it is healthier than emotional eating! Find ways to 
exercise that you ENJOY. The right form of exercise is the one you can stick with regularly!!! Something else may burn more calories in a shorter time, but if it makes you give up you won't burn any calories! 
MAKE EVERY STEP COUNT. Even steps that seem to move you backwards or to the side have a purpose. Sometimes it is just to get another look at something you passed by without noticing. 
KICK THEM TO THE CURB. You aren’t interested in FINDING them again. GET RID OF THEM through hard work, determination, accountability, whatever it takes!!!
