edited December 2024 in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I just joined and so I am introducing myself.

I am a 60 (soon to be 61) year old female.

I decided this is the year to get healthy so I joined the gym and hired a personal trainer a month ago. So far things are going well. I have only lost about 3 lbs but the good news is I am down a size :)

Looking forward to meeting everyone and participating in the discussions!

Lynn

    I lost 125 pounds through hard work and determination. Anyone can do it if you want it bad enough. You can do it!

    You will find such inspiration on this site! I am fairly new (started at the end of January) and I have lost 26 pounds so far. I still have about 45 more to go, but I am feeling so much better! Hang in there! The most important thing is to NEVER GIVE UP!

    Welcome....glad you joined us! I am sure you are going to do great! Great people here, very supportive and ready to push you on when the going gets tough!

    I urge you to take this one day at a time and I congratulate you for taking charge of your health. I am 51 yrs old post menopausal and drinking some meds that accumulate fat as a side effect, but I decided nothing was going to get in my way to a healthier me!

    Feel free to add me....I almost live on this site:laugh:

    It's daunting but people do it all the time. I'm in the same situation. I guess the best way is one day at a time.
