and the journey begins

I just turned 50 years old, and I am 5' 5" tall, weighing in at 240 lbs. Although I "wear it well" I know that I must lose weight for my health. My brother recently died and this has forced me to look at my own mortality. Hoping for encouragement on this site and hopefully some new eating tips and menu ideas.

    I am so sorry for your lost. When my brother-in-law passed away, it turned my life upside down. I try not to take anything for granted. We can do this. We deserve to be healthy and happy. :)
