I have tried many diets and fads and the weight comes and go. I am 58 and ready to get serious about a life style change so I can enjoy walks and exercise again. Diabetes and high cholesterol have been mentioned in my blood work and I don't want to become dependent on medicine so I am hoping to change my course and journey through this group. I still have lots of living to do. My goal is to loose 80 lbs, let's do this.
