Thank you! Thank you to this community for the help. I am a mom to five kids== 16 to 23. My husband became totally committed to being the most fit and healthy of his life by 50 several years ago. He made it! Considering he was a very fit man when we married, that is saying something! He never pressured me in the slightest, but seeing his example made me really dissatisfied with where I was at. I'm 5'7" and built more like a Quarter Horse than an Arabian, for those of you who know what I mean. I don't know exactly when I will say I have lost enough weight. Mostly I want to be fit and healthy. I work out with weights at home, and last month got to record milage for me on my walks. I made 135 miles. I'm aiming for further in June.

I am so grateful for the people on this forum who share their victories and failures... Who encourage and explain their choices to others who are on this path. I've lost 35 pounds while "listening" in to your conversations. I'll keep listening and maybe have the courage to finally comment or ask a question.

156.0 lb Lost so far: 35.0 lb.    Still to go: 6.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
