Hi All,
I am 71 and a good 100 pounds overweight....actually, I am not overweight, I am just too short for my weight. Seeing as how I haven't found a way to get taller, thought I would just try to lose the weight. :)
Anyone else here "middle-aged"?

    A little younger than you, but probably a lot older than most here. I need to lose 25 lbs but have bigger challenges like recent heart attack and diabetes. Both can be controlled with nutrition and exercises hence I'm here rather than eating a midnight snack. Good luck.

    Hi Cotton :]
    I'm not 'middle aged' but I'm also undertall - so I know the struggle!
    Good luck!
