Hello New yesterday.
Like the format of food/exercise diary. Need to lose 20-25 pounds. Did so about 2 years ago and now it is past time to get the rest off.

Hello - I'm a new Member
I'm 60 and I need to get back into my smaller clothes which is only about 15-20 lbs. I've just been enjoying sweets etc. It just takes getting your mind right and will-power.
