Well my 2021 started with an emergency room visit and 4 day hospital stay. Apparently I have a heart issue. My discharge papers described me as an “elderly obese female” ! What! I am 170, 5’5, and turned 79 in December, still very active and healthy. But I do need to lose at least 2o lbs. so am back to MFP, my old friend. Missing my wine a little, but not as much as I thought I would. I can do this! Wish me luck and fortitude
Please!

    Many years ago a Doctor was dictating into a machine as he examined me "Patient is a stocky man in his early thirties".
    Hang on Doc, is stocky a euphemism for fat? "Erm - sort of, yes."

    Best of luck OP, you can indeed do this.
