Hi everybody
Hi, Everyone,
I am new to the site, and grateful to have found it. It's so great to read what works and what the pitfalls are. I filled out one of these for the 100+ board, so to get to know me:
First name: Carolyn
Geographical location: California
Age: 51
Marital Status: Divorced
Children/Ages: Son, 19, Son, 17, Daugter, 13
Occupation: Landscape Architect, self-employed
Pets: 119 lb. dog, "Scamper"
Hobbies/Interests: architecture, history, reading, traveling, design
Height: 5' 8"
Eye/Hair Color: Hazel/Lt. Brown
Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: July 13, 2008
Starting Weight: 286
Present Weight: 282
Goal Weight: 150
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Too lazy to EXERCISE!
Following any specific plan: Keeping track of all that goes in, 30 mins. of exercise per day, 1700-2000 max. per day to start.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Support of this group, abject fear of reaching 300 lbs., being so tired of feeling bad, not being as active with my kids as I want to be.
Anything else you would like to share with us: If I can just remember that all I need to do is 30 mins. each day and get it over with, I'll be able to feel happy all day that I did it!
(I'm happy to say that I did my 30 minutes today!)

Obviously you've found the 100 plus group and hope you will also be visiting out Age 50+ Forum that's in the same general area . . .
