Hi I'm Maz aged 43 currently 172lbs trying to get to 147lbs.
I started in January but gave up, now it's time for change, I hate feeling tired and out of breath all the time! And being only 5ft 3 I am starting to look and feel awful - clothes shopping is a nightmare. I've got an extremely sweet tooth and a bad back but no more excuses I want to get healthy.
For me this isn't a diet, but a lifestyle change. I stopped eating red meat a year ago and am cutting out processed food but there is a lot I still need to learn about foods like carbs, diff fats etc.
I walked 5km for cancer research this year and next year I am going to RUN the 10km for cancer research.
Any advice, encouragement, needed and appreciated. Good luck with your goals Xx

Hi,
We have similar goals and you seem similar to me in the way my eating habits have been. I am changing and really enjoying the way I feel. It really is a lifestyle and requires day to day plodding along making healthy food choices. Will talk more later.0 -

I am 52 with similar habits and weight to lose Feel free to add me as a friend.
(I was hoping to run a 5 miler in the Fall for charity, but I am not making suitable progress. I am happy I can now jog over 2 miles without walking.)0 -
Hi all. Glad there are people on here similar to me. We will do this one inch at a time! :happy:0
