Hello from CT!

Hello, everyone! I am turning 50 within the next few months, and was really glad to discover this site! I am 5'4", 239 lbs., and would like to get down to 155 lbs. within the year. I have always had struggles with weight; and in fact, maintained between 150-155 lbs. for many years, until losing my husband several years ago. I do have issues with emotional eating - and also, I do just happen to love food!

I want to do this for my own health. I feel very out of breath, "heavy", and am experiencing problems with my knees and general fatigue. I know 90% of this is attributed to my weight, and it is just time for me to "stop the insanity."

I started my healthy eating regime with MyFitnessPal today. I hope to get to know many of you as we support one another in the good fight!

Marie
