Hi All - I'm 46 and living in the midwest. I've found that my weight has creeped up to 218 pounds and now am type II diabetic. Time to work it off and at least get back to 160 -- though 130 would be great too! It truly goes slower after 40 to lose the extra pounds!

Welcome from another midwest chick

Pop in and chat with us we're a friendly bunch.

Hi - Thanks for the reply's. Samantha - in answer to your questions - both! I am increasing activity - which is hard because I work 10-11 hours a day at a desk. Summers are easier because I come home and do yardwork, but that darn t.v. set seems to call me to the couch every evening. All that sitting is spreading my backside! Clydegirl - thanks for the support! I will try to pop in periodically!
