The Getting Old Sucks Thread

[Schneed10]

I'm 39 and can relate to some of this. I dropped 25 pounds last year to get my BMI back into 'healthy' weight range, partly because the doctor said I should, and partly because I just wanted to. It helps with the way you feel about everything, you'll sleep better, you'll be less grumpy, it helps with stress, and it might make you feel less 'old' just because you get a little more positive self esteem from it.

Recommend starting there and let the rest take care of itself. And don't try to lose it all at once. Set a doable goal: 5 pounds by June 30. Once you get there, set another goal.
