Hello, everyone! I tripped on this site yesterday while I was trying to decide.....again....... what kind of eating plan I would begin, i.e., Weight Watchers, South Beach, blah, blah, blah. I finally decided I would do what I know is right - eat less, move more - but, since I found this site anyway, I thought I would try a little support. I believe that [i]nothing is an accident[i] so maybe the reason I found this site is b/c the support would be helpful.
As you'll see from my profile, I'm 59, a grandmother, mother, wife and am incredibly lucky and happy; however, I have an extremely demanding, stressful career. One of the perks, some would argue, of my job is that I eat out a lot and travel a lot...both domestically and internationally. My next trip is to Paris at the end of March so I'm trying to knock off 5-10 pounds before I go.....I would ultimately like to lose 40-50 but the 5-10# is b/c I know that, try as I may, I'll be eating more fattening goods than I usually do here at home. I'll be walking a lot but not sure if my hotel will have eliptical and weights that I usually do here.
Anyway, that's enough.......like I say, just saying hello and glad to find this site and this 50+ group. Thanks, MPD
