At 48 and 5'7" I have been at a BMI considered obese for about 15 years. Creeping up on 50, I began to picture myself at 80 and 90 years old and realized my frame would not go the distance if I didn't treat it well now. I love life, nature, adventure, travel and my mobility will be threatened if I don't change things sooner than later. For me, this is very much a psychological journey with physical dividends. I am thrilled to be a member of this community and a part of all of the positivity and support here.
