in Introduce Yourself
I am 46 yrs old and weigh 210 pounds, I am only 5 feet tall so its not a good thing, I have arthritis in my back, hip and knee, my weight only causes the pain to intensify and last longer.
between working full time and the pain I am in I don't exercise
my goal is to eat better, and begin to slowly exercise as I feel my muscles and joints are seizing up. weight loss is the ultimate goal and I don't have a goal weight in mind yet. I just want to feel better and be healthy,
anyone my age looking for a buddy

    I would love to be your fitness buddy.:smile: I am 42 and am at 196 lbs. My goal is to lose 70 lbs. I am a mom of 4 daughters but I cant blame baby weight cause the baby is almost 17! Lol!

    I'm in the same boat. I'm 42 and weigh 192 lbs. Mother of three daughters (with my baby being 22) and grandmother to 4 with another one on the way. I have 60 pounds to lose. So good to know I am not alone in this...
