I've been lurking here for a couple years now...reading this...perusing that...chuckling at some things and hurting for others. I figured I'd used y'all for long enough...it was time to join and get involved.

I'm Connie...and I'm a writer with 3 books published. I'm 53 and weigh about 160 at 5'6". I need to lose about 20 pounds...and get my cholesterol, which came in at 295, under control. I run between 15 and 20miles a week. I also bike about 40 miles a week...and I CAN'T lose this extra weight.

So...I'm hoping to find some answers here from those who have succeeded or are succeeding in your weight loss goals.

Anyway...that's me.

Hi Connie and welcome to 3FC!

Hugs
Michelle

SunshineCA Thank you for the kind welcome. I used to live in the LA area. I miss it...the weather...the nightlife...but not the freeways or the crime.
