As a family we are pretty active, I usually get in 3-4 workouts a week (jogging, pilates or weights) added to that are family walks, bike rides, etc. And who can forget that ski season is coming up.
My goals are to step up my workouts, cut back on carbs (and total calories) and have the discipline to stick with it to actually lose the weight.
I wasn't quite sure which forum to join- I seem to have a bit more weight to lose than many of the feather weights...
Thanks

Skibrec! Sounds like you have a good plan in mind! Since you are already active, (I can tell by your user name what your sport is!) you're not starting from zero!
I too was normal weight until my 30's, it's a different mindset, the weight (especially post-kids) kinda surprises you.
I was told a Featherweight is anyone who thinks they are a Featherweight. Don't worry about what sub-forum to join, you'll be welcome anywhere.
Good luck!
