in Introduce Yourself

My name is Katherine and I am 62. After some substantial health problems, and subsequent weight gain, I am taking ownership and back control of my Heath. I just registered for an Ultra Marathon in Tunisia this October, so I am “all-in” on my fitness journey! While I am not oblivious to the challenges of marathon running, it has been thirty years since my last one. So…here we go! I am already down 20lbs., since I started my training a month ago, but I have another 70 to go to feel super confident in my fitness prior to the race. Hoping MFP community has some stellar cheerleaders and also some other people who want to join me on my weekly journey!?? My goal is to prove that age is only a number. Wish me luck!! Thank you!

    hello I’m melissa. I will be cheering for you. I’m going to be 50 soon and had a battle with cancer that left me with some issues that helped in my major weight gain. I said the same as you I’m tired of letting my sickness control me so I’m taking back control and here I am. Hoping this helps me I know it’s going to be a long road but with a little help I believe I can get there. Good luck with your journey.
