I have been thru chemo and now I am going to be 59. I have been up and down the scale more times than I care to admit. I have been thru weight watchers and that has been the longest time the weight has stayed off. Now I am going to do it again with weight watchers and I am so afraid that with my age and all it won't go off and stay off. My exercise is to do cardio daily for at least a half hour on bad days (over filled days) the rest of the time I am doing weights and swim a mile everytime I get into the pool at the Y. I do elipticals and treadmill and walk outside. I think my weight thinks it is paying rent. It just stays and comes back everytime it is evicted!!! The only thing I have been doing more of is at times stress eating and I Have a journal and am working on this. any suggestions would be appreciated! My belly is fat and Needs to get down to 6pack abs. (or as close as I can get it to be) I am really getting depressed about this. I know that as you get older you find it harder to get rid of excess weight. This is just ovewhelming at times. I am already thru menopause and I still get hot flashes at times espically when I am doing laps in the pool. I do my mile in an hour and fifteen minutes now. (was more before) I want to get it under an hour so I can do it in the time allowed for lap swimming.
