Looking for friends and support

Hi, I'm not new on this board but I've been away from it for awhile. I'm a 53 year old female and as usual, I've gained quite a bit of weight back over the holidays. Just so frustrated, but here I am giving it another go!
I've been yo-yo dieting for the last 9 years or so. I go on the low-carb diets, which work for me for awhile, and then eventually I gain it all back. For awhile now, my husband and I have been eating Mediterranean and we love it... doesn't feel like we are "dieting"... don't know why I used that word because I hate it... it's more like "living healthy"... most of the time!

I walked just 3 miles yesterday so that's a start, but today I'm going to do one of my "boot camp" tapes that should work up a sweat!

I'm going for 1200 calories per day and trying to exercise 1 hour per day, 6 days per week. I'm doing pilates, cardio, hand weights, bands, strength training using my own body weight, etc. I switch it up and briskly walk one day and do weights and stretch, and then do a tape the next day, etc.

I live on the east coast of the US. I'm hoping to find some friends so we can support and encourage each other on this journey to get healthier!

Happy New Year!
