Newbie here!
Really happy to find such a supportive and active (and free!) community - looking forward to being part of it.A bit about me: I've struggled with my weight all my life, though of course the size I was when I was much younger and was 'struggling' seems tiny to me now! I've lost 120 lb before but gained it all back and then some. So here I am. I want to be able to keep up with my kids better and go bike riding and hiking and swimming with them. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and I've really started struggling to get around with the latest 20 lb gain. I love walking and would like to add that back into my life in a big way, along with some strength training (tired of feeling weak!), but I'm going to start with concentrating mostly on healthy eating and go from there.
Anyhow, hi!



valens! That sounds like a great plan! And you have definitely come to the right place for support! If you've lost 120 lbs before, you know what it takes, so you can do it again! Good luck!
