Hello! I’m hoping a few more women will join me and get this group off the ground! A little bit about me - I’m 56 and at my heaviest weight EVER at 255 lbs. I’m 5’8” and would like to get down to 170. Honestly, I’d be thrilled to get down to 245. I am a self-identified sugar addict, but my A1C is at 5.8%, so I’m motivated to reduce that number. I’m also a snacker - popcorn is my favorite! I’ve lost weight before, and was most successful when I was part of a supportive group of women. I hope you’ll join me!

Hi Genn! Welcome! I forgot to include my name on my original comment. Duh. I’m Mary Pat. As for the format, good question. My thoughts are to post each day - what went well and what didn’t. Provide support and receive support from each other. Share thoughts and ideas. Thoughts? I’m pretty open to what will work best for everyone.1
