Before shots at 59 yrs old, no laughing!

I want to do this because of what I am learning. For me (I'm not saying this is for everyone) I am realizing I might very well gain weight the way I plan to add to my workout. But I want to shape up more, tone up. I am convinced the fat will go away but more important, I want to build muscle to protect my joints, feel good and look the best I can for my years. Not necessarily in that order since I don't know many women that don't want to look pretty and sexy as possible whether married or unmarried:) Just my opinion:)

So with that said, and at the risk of maybe grossing some people out, I am going to show you all "my needs" in the physical department, LOL! This is going to help me I believe because admitting what I need to become healthy is the first step towards getting that way. I didn't know what I needed back in May. I thought all I needed was to lose fat. The winners on MFP are teaching me different:)

So if anyone wants to be a friend here and watch my diary and exercise, as well as my progress when I take some photos maybe end of Summer again, please do:) Also, I am guessing at least a year, maybe more to reach my goal. My goal is not a "weight" on the ticker, it is a "look" of a healthy, height/weight proportionate bod. You will also notice I am going to eat my exercise calories because I believe that is the way. So it will be out there for all to see if it works or not. I am not afraid and sort of setting myself up as a guinea pig(no pun intended)to help those that are "maybe" not eating enough calories!

PS I know people don't usually post befores when they start. I needed people, especially my size and age(59, 5' 2" and 133 lbs)that MFP is every bit for us for those with different bodies:)

Omg, I have to hit the "post topic" button and I am so scared, LOL! I admit it is hard to let the guys see how bad I look but to heck with vanity!
