Hello all. I decided to join the full version of myfitness pal so I can collaberate with other people just like me in the struggle of weight loss. For some reason, once you hit the over 40 age, fat doesn't want to come off. I am 40 pounds overweight which I blamed on possible thyroid issues only to have my doctor says "nope. You are tremedously healthy. You just eating the wrong things." So, no health issues, just me drinking maybe a little too much wine. Just looking for someone to venture on this journey with me..
