I just turned 55, I started this journey out at 210. I manage a downtown bakery. I have been heavy almost all of my adult life, and while I want to loose weight I know I will never be thin. I joined a gym, that is across the street from my job, hoping that I will be able to go often. It has not been as easy as I had hoped to get there. I have 2 kids although they are adults. I have 2 cats and a dog. I feel lucky to be where I am today. I love my job, and my new boss. I just want to be healthy. I don't need to be thin, I just don't want to be one of those people who have to use a walker as they get older, or a motorized cart because they are to fat to walk. I want to be healthy and active. I am hoping to make some buddies here, to talk about the frustration of trying to do everything right and the scale refusing to move. I might learn some great ideas on how to do things better, and maybe make some friends...
