Being overweight for years and trying to get to a healthier life. Have 2 foot surgeries in the last few years, and two hip replacements now I are walking more, counting those steps. Moving more, now I am ready to eat better. I am an impulse eater. Enjoy sweets, trying to get control of my cravings.

    Welcome!! If you can, invest in a Fitbit. It's great for tracking your steps and it syncs with My fitmess pal. I have a sweet tooth too, hard to control, but we'll get there!

    Know how hard it is trying to get healthier. Had stopped coming in here to track but decided I needed accountability or would never get rid of this weight. So, here I am again. Bad knee makes it hard to exercise but have been walking more. Hope to talk with you again. It looks like the 65+groups have disappeared from here. And, we need the support of others in our age bracket to keep us inspired.
