Begining of New Challenge

mid 50`s need to lose weight for my daughters graduation next June 2020. Big build by nature. Consistency of effort is required, I get distracted easily.

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊

You are so right about consistency, I heard it described as ‘consistently good rather than occasionally brilliant’ . . . I take this to mean lots of small achievable changes, nothing too dramatic or anything that makes you feel hungry and deprived. If you’re eating food you enjoy and in decent quantities there’s no need to lose interest (or get distracted) Also have a look at this about why we find it harder to utilise carbohydrates as we get older, and why what is often perceived to be “healthy” actually isn’t healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Best Wishes in your weight loss journey

Welcome and I wish you well on your weight loss journey. I think it helps to keep the mind focused when you have a target in mind - your daughter's graduation and you've given yourself a decent timescale to change your eating habits and lose some weight. Just think how much better you will feel in that new outfit next June.
