  • Hey Liz!

    We have a great, active Carb Counters forum - you may want to check it out! Also, we have the 40-somethings support group...you might enjoy posting there.

    You also could check out the 100 lb club, a group for those losing or who have lost around 100 lbs or more. It is a great, active, supportive group, full of advice.

    As far as losing with medical/prescription obstacles, you might also see our "Dieting with Obstacles" forum.

    As you can tell, there are a ton of spots for you to explore and find others in similar situations, so look around, settle in, and keep going. Can't wait to get to know you better!
  • Welcome Liz I am new here too and have a great deal of reading to do too. I am just a bit older than you (turned 50 in July) but I to am on medication that can be a bit of an obstacle, I take medication for high blood pressure and the dreaded hormones for hot flashes and night sweats lol ain't it grand getting older lol

    anyway I think we are going to get a great education and some great support
