Lady Ready for Strength, Health, and Friendship

I'm a 27 year old lady who is ready to have an amazing body. I have spent the last year sedentary from a serious illness (bleeding from the intestine) and now that I am recovered, I have gained some weight around my middle.The death of my older brother hit me hard, and I ate with abandon for months. I didn't care about the repercussions. The last straw was when I could not fit into a pretty party gown.
I decided that I did not want to be cast in the flabby shadows, with shapeless frocks to hide my new figure. I am not so much concerned with weight loss as I am with gaining strength and flexibility, but I will consider it a happy product of better eating and increased physical activity.
I look forward to meeting new friends and hopefully meeting some people who have successfully dealt with a serious disease and are recuperating.
