Hi,
My name's Sylvia. I just had my first full day using MFP and am pumped for this to work!
I'm 53 years young. But lately I have started to feel sluggish due to weight gain and things taking more effort. Never had to deal with that challenge before. But, so be it. I'm 170 cm tall (5' 6 1/2") and weigh 170 kg (154 lb) with a small boned frame. I have gained 30 lb. over what my average weight has been - all of it on my middle. So, my goal is to lose the belly fat.
I am keeping it reasonable - plan is to get from a 100 cm (39") waist measurement that I have right now down to 76 cm (30 inches).
Nice to have this community here to get support no matter where we are at in our fitness goals. It can feel daunting making changes.
