45 and well insulated

JakeRN45

For years I have referred to myself as well insulated as a way to joke about being obese (bmi says so) but something about turning 45 in June (maybe my mom saying you are definitely past mid life now) made me want to change. I recruited my youngest daughter (in avatar with me) and started this journey June 1st. We have both lost 17 pounds and are feeling encouraged.

I have set short term and long term goals but would like go lose about 50 pounds to get back go my weight at 18 which I read is when most people are at best weight for their body ( not sure how true that is).

I would be happy to connect with fellow mfp members for motivation and support.

Cheers :happy:

Nice work so far! This is a great site... wish I had found it (or at least the tenets behind it) in my thirties not forties. Good luck and enjoy!

I agree this is a great sites, I am so happy my daughter discovered this. Thanks for the welcome.
