Well, it's past noon, so....good afternoon!

I'm new here. Came across this site while researching low-carb options. I'm a 49 year old mom of freshly-graduated-from-high-school twins. Whew! We DID IT! Now that they are settled into starting college classes in the fall, it's time for me to focus on good ole Mom. I'm 5'8", and 265lbs. I want to be healthy, not thin. I think that's the difference we have to be distinct on- healthy. But, if it happens that my clothes fit better and I like who I see in the mirror every day, well, hey- bonus points!

Just wanted to introduce myself and hope I can get a few pointers here and there from those who have been successful. I pray I will be determined enough to make these healthy changes and extend my years on this beautiful marble we call Earth.

Have a blessed day, all!

Cathy

Good morning. I am pretty new here too and hoping to find some folks who can share good and bad alike even if we are not on the same "plan"

Hi Chatteyone and welcome. Congratulations on your graduating twins! I completely agree with you about focusing on being healthy vs. thin.

Congrats on your kids' graduation, and on your commitment to focusing on yourself and your health!

Like @mygoalz, agreed that 'healthy' is a great goal. Good luck!
