I just couldn't resist...but know that I should have...!
I am a new poster but long-time lurker who has finally decided to come clean. This looks like the right place and time. May I still join this challenge?
I am an aging Hippie Chick--a descriptor of my lifestyle rather than physique--and that is a title that I've long worn with pride. I'll admit that, until recently, I've been a pretty strong contender in the "Mama Cass Look Alike Contest!"
Having similar stats to many of you (50 yo, 5'9", CW ~160, vegetarian, happy, critter lover with a twisted sense of humor and appreciation for the absurd) I think I'd fit right in. In the last year I have lost about 75 pounds and am close to where I want to be. Life is good!
In the next 5-6 weeks I want to:
1. stablize my weight in the lower 150's
2. explore/expand the use of more soy products in my diet
3. join the local Obedience Training Club with my 6-month-old puppy
4. enjoy the fruits (and vegetables) of my garden
May I join you?
