3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - "Hi" from Chocolatetown, USA

My name is Doris and have been a lurker here for months. What a great forum! I just turned 51 on April 1st (no foolin') and have been married for 22 years. I have been a yo-yo dieter for most of those years and have finally made the decision to get serious last year when my son told me he is getting married. I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, so I joined the local gym which is 5 minutes from my house. October of last year I started out slow on the treadmill and gradually changed my diet. Two months into my membership, I hired a personal trainer. That decision has been the best investment in my health! I am in my 7th month of training and clean eating and feel much better. My weight is going down slowly and I am building muscle and getting toned. I have committed at least a year to change my body, so we will see how the journey unfolds. Depending how the wind blows, chocolate smells fill the air!
