61-y-o, 87kg, 172cm, hip replacement surgery soon

pernodpourmoi

Hi everyone

I'm 61 yrs old, living in Melbourne, Australia. My weight has gradually crept up 15 kg over the past 20 years or so, and it's time to do something about it! I want to be able to buy clothes in normal shops, not in 'fat lady' shops!

I'm about to have hip replacement surgery in the next few weeks, and want to try to lose as much weight as possible before that, to take some strain off my hips (both old and new). Presently I'm rather limited in the exercise I can do, but I'm finding that exercise in the pool works well, and protects my hips.

Would love to have some MFP friends, especially around my age, and somewhere near Melbourne.

Good luck to everyone working towards your goals.
