Yup, another Newb. :)

Just started here about a week ago, and am getting familiar with the site and love it so far!

I recently turned 60 and knew I had to drop the pounds. I was one of those tall, skinny people most of my life - could eat anything - and then real life happened. Had a daughter, developed thyroid issues, broke a leg, broke an ankle, stopped smoking, went through menopause and so on. Although these aren't excuses for my weight gain, they definitely are contributing factors. I now find myself, at age 60, with at least 50 pounds to lose, so that is my initial goal.

I'm originally from Toronto, but now live in Newmarket, which is about an hour north of the city. Always thought myself a big city girl, but after living here in Newmarket for over 10 years now, you couldn't pay me to move back.

Oh, and my avatar? Yes, I'm a horse's *kitten* for having neglected myself for as long as I did, but that's about to change.
