Hi everyone! I'm 54, live in Maumee, Ohio. Glad to have found the MFP groups to make this fitness journey a little less lonely and hopefully a bit more fun. Please add me as a friend so we can cheer each other on! Would love to find some Maumee/Toledo area friends to add as workout buddies... and golf partners. I'm new to the area and don't know anyone outside of work yet!
I'm a midwestern comfort cook who has decided to begin learning to cook a lighter fare that still tastes good. It'll be trial and error experimenting. Its a good thing I'm not a picky eater!
I was at my fittest when I was about 40. I'm really small boned and was 125 lbs of lean muscle and a size 2-4. At 50, I was a little less lean but still wearing a size 4. Then things changed. Hit menopause and shortly thereafter became seriously ill. Long story short, gained a bunch of weight and now have physical limitations. My highest weight ever was right after Christmas 2013 at 149.5 lbs. All of my underwear shrunk at once! Yikes! Time to hit the brakes! New goal, stop buying the next size up and get down to 120 lbs by my daughter's wedding in late May. (yeah, 5 lbs less than my fittest because back then, my 'fittest" 125 lbs had years of weight-training muscle included). I started logging my calories again last week, bought some exercise gear, invested in lighter fare cooking books, got some new kitchen gadgets and am officially starting the new lifestyle today.
Wish me luck and please add me as an MFP friend!
