Barb, sorry to hear about you losing your job - I go through the same fears at my work, it's a constant worry since it was bought by a corporation who then laid off 70% of the workers! So far, so good for me but no one at work knows what will happen tomorrow. I'm 61 and starting over at a new job, in a state with under 4% unemployment, well, it can get stressful.
I've lost about 9 lbs. this year, though doesn't sound like much it feels great. Have about only 6 or 7 more I'd like to lose, so you know how difficult it can be at that point. I've tracked and logged every meal, every bit of food and drink on a log I made in Excel (since Jan. 1!) and weigh and measure myself every Sunday morning. My Fitbit has actually motivated me to shoot for 10K steps a day. My son gave it to me for Xmas - I have a sedentary computer job but I try and walk during breaks and treadmill at night. It's hard to motivate to go down to workout but I LOVE it when I do!
