Wow. You look great. Congrats. I am at 225 and would love to get down to 150. I have set a short term goal of 200 by May. Please share how you did it. Diet tips, exercise tips, ect.

Hi faith. add me. I am sort of new here too. Not a lot of experience, but I will encourage.

I am with you. I am 51. In my mind I feel 28. But sometimes my body feels much older. I guess that is why I am here.
