Hello Ladies, here I go again on this weight journey. About 2 years ago I lost around 30 lbs. I didn't get to the target weight all the doctors tell you according to the height chart which mine is 125 lbs. but I did get to 165 & I felt GREAT but I still was aiming for 20 more lbs to lose. Then last year, I started taking care of a loved one & some lbs started coming back. After a month in the hospital with my loved one & the passing of my loved one, I've gained every pound plus more back. Grrrr Which brings me to now. Miserable.... I thought seeking out motivation & support from other women over 50 as we all fight this battle of the bulge together might be the best tool ever.
I look forward to making friends, sharing stories, suggestions & advice. Hoping this helps me along with anyone else.

    Oh yeah let's not forget battling the flu now for the last 3 weeks. As soon as this mess is gone, the walking track will be seeing me ALOT!

    Sorry for your loss. My Mom had heart surgery and I spent 2 weeks with her in the Bronx and then running back and forth with her going into rehab ect. I gained 10 of the 30 pounds I had kept off for about 2 years. I finally handed over some of the reins to my brothers and just said now I need to take care of me. Unfortunately when we are taking care of others we often forget to take care of ourselves.
    We can get through this.
