Dear Ladies,

I am newly 65 and lost my husband this time last year; I'm also recently retired. The 3 months spent living in the hospital room with my husband, combined with continuing deep feelings of loss since then, have changed a very active & enjoyable life to a more disinterested, sedentary one, one that I know includes much too much sleep each day. I'm sure it will come as no surprise to you that there's been a pretty significant weight gain.

Recently, when all my ceilings were repainted, I had to personally muscle all the house furniture out to the two porches. That seemed a stimulus to go through things & give much to the Good Will. Moving everything back in again, it feels as if I'm starting a new chapter. I'd like to seize the moment & shed those excess 30 lbs (from 165 to 135, where I should be for my height), The benefits most certainly go way beyond the physical.

Today is "0 -1" - only because it's late. The real effort will start tomorrow. Just wanted to say "hello" and that I'm so looking forward to meeting you ladies & sharing your journeys.

I'd like to add that if any lady around my age group (55-70) is interested in sharing support, send me a friend request.
