So much human family here - when reading everyone's issues, 3 out of 4 times I think, "Me too!" Hugs to all us lonely, sensitive, procrastinating, self-saboteurs with weird body parts and pains. It's pretty great to be here in good company. Also...Early fifties...I have SO MANY brown spots on my legs that weren't there…

My baby toenail grows in two pieces. Why? Why? So f***ing annoying!

I remember how it felt to sashay, to run, to swish around in a long skirt, to put on jeans in the fall and be glad to have long pants... but now I feel like a lump. I don't skim or swish; I plod.

No necromancy.

Good for you losing 12 lb already! Calorie counting is the way to go, so I hear. I had to give up coffee drinks. I sure do like my fancy lattes, but they are full of calories, just like soda. If you just stay on here, and keep logging in, you will be fitter! I was on a few years back, and it really helped, but then I…

Best of luck to you. I had to look up NAFLD. A lot of us probably have it and don't realize it...

Add me :)

Hi, Valrie58, I'm having good results starting with the calorie counter. It's pretty easy to add your foods and exercise each day. (But I've only been on for two weeks...) Best Wishes E

Inspirational, beautiful - Thanks for posting how you felt. I feel that way too. Congratulations on your determination and effort! You look lovely!
