in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Pat and I live in TN. I am 77 years old and sad about my body size. I weigh 224 and plan to lose to 180 and then reassess. I like to walk and we have a miniature poodle. My husband is 78 and cannot walk because he has ataxia. We are very limited in choices of any activities. I hope I can encourage other people here. I am glad to be with you.

    Hi Pat! Welcome to MyFitnessPal - we're happy to have you. There are a lot of very friendly folks around here more than willing to give you a helping hand or answer any questions you may have.

    With just a few small, but consistent, changes, you can easily lose that weight. It will be slow going at first, and it will be frustrating, but you can do it!

    I'm Ashley - I've been around here for a while, and lost about 70 lbs so far, with a couple dozen more to go. I am going to send you a friend request. You're welcome to ignore it if you'd like, but sometimes having a community behind you is exactly what you need to start making and seeing progress.
