Hi! I’m new and I would really like to lose some weight. I was doing okay weight wise because I have lived alone since my divorce but one of my grandsons came to live with me and I have put on some weight over the past three years. I kinda let it slide, now I feel like a mess. I wondered if I might join you for a while and try to get motivated?
I’m going off to check out the board and I hope it’s okay if I welcome other new people. It’s just something I do to help me feel ‘at home’.
I have been working at cutting down on everything since the beginning of the year. But I'm older, don't get out much and I know I really need to do more if I want to lose this weight.
Etta, I'm probably older than you - 69.5 - and am in the same boat. We have to MOVE! Cutting down helps but be sure you are still making the best food choices possible.
Well . . . although I am ever so much younger than my buddy Ruth (I'm only 65.5 ), I have to agree with her . . . we really need to find ways to get a little more movement into our lives to go along with healthy eating. Anyway, ETTA, -- glad to have you joining us, Chickie.
