Hello all! I joined Fitness Pal December 2011 and have tried to use the diet tracking since then, but have not really gotten into the message boards, until today. It takes me a little while to jump in, but I plan on sticking with this for the long run! I have a long way to go. I'm 52, and according to every piece of material I read, I'm obese. I dislike that word very much and in my minds eye....I look really good...just keep me away from a mirror. I feel good about myself and my life but I'm ready to get this weight off and get healthier! Hoping to keep motived here with the posts on the message boards. I hope to get to know some of you better and offer support and encouragement to you along the way! Thanks.
