Welcome xmarymar, this is the place to be. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. It is a great place to vent and get some great ideas. So welcome aboard

Welcome! There are tons of different groups depending on what you want to talk about. This is a great group.

I went to a 39th birthday party last night. We were asked to give advice about getting to be 40. I spoke about taking vitamins and calcium and lifting weights ... what I didn't say cuz it sounds funny is that I'm waaaay better looking now than I was at 39. Slimmer, more fit ... it's much easier to pull your look together if you fit in clothing and then it's much easier to feel more confident.

Hi mary

I bet you're looking pretty nice already! My GOAL is just 4 measly lbs higher than your current weight and I'm just an inch taller! How about checking out weight lifting. Weights can do fantastic things for your body - tighten up the flabby bits, shrink waists, make you feel fantastic and strong and confident.
