Hello I am new here . I just joined today. I hope to make some friends and get the support this group offers.

I am 65 years old and very much in need of losing 50 lbs.
My goal is to accomplish this by april of 2014 or sooner. Hopefully sooner.

My motivation is I am going to visit family in 7 weeks and hope to lose a little before I go.

I haven't seen my family in over a year and want to feel better about myself.

I am originally from Indiana but now live in New Hampshire. i miss my family and grandchildren so much and need to take better care of myself so I can spend more time with them..

Welcome, Donna!

I love your Avatar, but am hoping it's not already snowing in NH!

Looks like you've already lost over 3 lbs - that's great! How are you planning to lose ?

Nothing like the pressure of a family reunion . . . but there's hoping you find lots of motivation on the site. So many good folks here!!
