Hello from upstate NY
 

Hi everyone, I'm very happy to have found you! I think I will be successful with my weight loss plan. There are so many wonderful people here and great ideas to draw from on this site.

I'm 52 and I need to get healthy before it's too late. I'd like to lose 50 pounds, and since it took ten years to gain the weight I know it won't come off overnight. I'm quite active and I'm really beginning to feel the strain in my knees, carrying this extra weight.

My plan is to combine calorie counting with an emphasis on whole foods. I do not eat meat. I love veggies and whole grains. I simply eat TOO much, my portions are way more than I need to maintain a healthy weight.

I started my "diet" today. Thanks for this great web site! Catherine

I'm new too--good luck Catherine, I'm sure you'll do great!! :)

Welcome Catherine! You're in the right place. Glad you found us. My bestest crafting buddy lives in upstate NY, in Queensbury. I'm way out here in the wild, wild west.
