Hi I'm new and would like some friends!

Hi! Today is my first day on MFP. I'm a Christian woman, 51, married, two fur babies (cats) at home, live in the Ozark Mountains, 5'7" tall and have 147.5 lbs. to lose. I started on my own on May 27th (roughly 8 weeks ago) at 313 and have lost 20 1/2 lbs as of today. I just need some support and to give support too! I've made my diary "open" to my friends. I exercise 5-6 days a week, mostly Leslie Sansone walk aerobics and also recumbent bike. Sometimes I go to water aerobics at my local Y. Non smoker, occasional drinker. I've just downloaded the MFP app and I'm ready to go! Since I do not work outside the home I plan on being very active online and check in daily and track, track, track! I wasn't always heavy. But pregnancy changes all that. Since my youngest is 23 and all my kids are gone there really isn't an excuse anymore. There hasn't been an excuse for a long time. In fact, there has never really been an excuse. Looking forward to making friends and meeting new people and sharing my journey.

    Hi! Sounds like we have some similarities, I'm 49 and have 60 lbs to lose. Pregnancy fat I never lost and progressively bigger as years went by. Menopause has not helped... I'd love to share your journey, feel free to add me
