    Hi Pat!

    I'm going to be 55 on my birthday. We have 12 grandkids and going on 2 great, the newest kiddo is due in April. :D I am trying to get fit and be healthy and the weight loss is a happy side effect. I have to work for quite a few more years, so they healthier I am the better.

    Welcome to MFP, I hope you love it as much as I do!

    Hi, I'm also in my 60's trying to lose a little weight--seems like at this age it just doesn't want to budge like it used to! I like to run and stay active and am trying to improve my health through healthier food choices.
