I am 61 years old, mother of 2 grown children, grandmother to 2 wonderful boys. I am functioning introvert, with a dry sense of humor that often moves into inappropriate territory. Found this site quite by accident when researching Pre-diabetes. Through my own dumb choices, I gained 80 lbs. over the course of 4 years. I did that by always going for the easy answer when it came to food: lots of drive-thru burgers, restaurant meals and highly processed microwave meals. I came to my senses in February 2022 at a whopping 266 lbs. Prior to joining FS, I lost 16 just by cutting out all of the above-mentioned foods and soda. Finding this site has really helped me to track my nutrition and discover a healthy way of eating. I still go to restaurants with my friends and family but am much more aware of what I consume. I don't have a final goal weight in mind yet, but I would like to get back to a healthy bmi and once again be able to walk for 3-4 hours at a time without paying for it the next day.
