:welcome: to the site, oregonrose! We're glad to have you!

Good on you for recognizing that you want to change things, and then doing the work to get them changed. That's a big, critical step.

You and I have pretty similar stats. My starting weight was about where you are now. Let me tell you from experience, getting down even to the high end of healthy weight feels AMAZING. It's completely worth all the work that goes into it. I'm working on getting back there myself. :)

What's your plan for losing weight?
