Finally saying hello

Hi everyone. Been in the community for more than a year. The posts in this community genuinely give me hope, you all are very encouraging and I hope to keep the motivation going.

For the past 4 years I have only gained pounds (25lbs in the last 2 alone). Posting in hopes to get things really going and to say hi 👋 .

This year the weight gain has taken a real toll. I’m out of breath, I have feet issues, and body aches when I wake up in the morning. This is after being relatively slim majority of my life.

I feel like I’m too old to take off the weight but I know that’s not true. And was recently consistently in the gym just to be slowed down by a car accident.

Plan on starting with cutting added sugar and cutting out snacking. Not the easiest to do with my job but… wish me luck 🙏
