Any other horseback riders out there?

in Introduce Yourself
I probably talk horses and trail riding a whole lot better than anything else, but as a WW lifetime member who's gained some weight back, I'm open to trying to encourage others the way I'd like to be encouraged.

I am a 47 y.o. married Illinois woman with no human children. I am owned by 2 dogs, 8 cats and 3 horses. I have fought the weight battle my entire life. I lost 45 lbs with WW back in 2008. The past 5 years have been a real struggle keeping it off. I bought a Garmin Vivofit last October hoping that every time that red line showed up, I'd move my butt more!

Fast forward to about 6 weeks ago when I realized that the Vivofit synced with myfitnesspal.com, so I went to check it out. I was elated when I realized it showed me exactly what I was suppose to eat for carbs & sugar as they're what seems to keep me "fluffy" ;):blush: I've had 3 vacations where tracking just wasn't easy for me in that last 6 weeks, so I'm just now really getting started with this. I "found" the message boards today and decided to dive in.

I'm looking forward to meeting others and making this journey more fun :)

    Hi there!

    Nice to see another equestrian on the board!

    I am in the process of getting my health back in order. I have about 15 pounds I would like to rearrange. I am not one to really get into message boards, but since yours popped up with the word horse in the title, I figured I would join up.

    I have four horses that keep me pretty busy right now.

    Nice to meet you and hope to chat soon!

    I have been riding for over 20 years. I don't have my own horse, but I am lucky to have a friend that lets me ride whenever I can (which is still not as much as I'd like, but hopefully more energy to ride will come with dropping weight and building muscle). I would love to chat with you, I'll send you a friend request!

    PS: I get most of my exercise via animal chores, LOL!
