Hello

So here I am 58 years old drastically obese and needing to lose what seems like a mountain of unwanted fat,............... I'm lucky I have a wonderful family who are so much younger than me that I owe it to them to lose that weight and improve my fitness so I can get back to enjoying spending time with them without struggling just to walk and be with them for days out....... I have tried diets and online groups before MFP seems to be better than the ones I have tried so here is hoping that I can lose that fat at last perhaps with some mutual support from other people in a similar state :)

    Welcome.....MFP is a great place for support! Awesome tool for losing weight & healthy living. The thing I like the most is even if you don't lose one week its still opening your eyes to healthier living. When you start seeing what certain foods are calorie and fat wise its an eyeopener! Best of Luck to you!!!
