Getting a fresh start

Hi,

I've been using MyFitnessPal for several years but had many ups and downs, mostly weight gains. This time I created a new profile to get a fresh start. I am in my 50s and even though friends and coworkers tell me I don't look it, I do feel like it. I am heavier than ever and all my joints hurt. I have made some improvements and I don't hurt as much as I did 6 months ago. I really need to get this weight off this time. I want to be able to get back to jogging and would love to be able to do some hiking. Right now it is hard to climb steps because my knees hurt. I know I have arthritis but this extra weight makes it harder.

I am going to do it this time. Good luck to all of you!
