I'm new - OK, actually I'm Mary - but you can call me "Peach."
So what's this all about (Alfie)? Here I am - I'll be 42 in a couple of weeks. I've been through two lousy marriages, have two great kids and my spirit is finally at peace. But...after working hard to rebuild my life, I've forgotten about me in the process.
It's finally time for me to focus on myself and getting my health back after focusing on the kids and everyone else. I'm ready to lose 20 pounds and get fit. But where the heck do I start? Well, I've got an appointment with the doctor for my first complete physical in years...I'm hoping to meet with a nutritionist (or someone akin to that) to help me develop a fitness program tailored to my needs, etc. and remind me to stop eating my emotions. Heck - it's the one thing I haven't had to work hard for - yummy food that's bad for you. But I've paid the price.
So...any encouraging stories out there? Any hints? I'm feeling as though I'm on the right track, but have gained and lost the same eight pounds over the last four years over and over and over...I sure hope I can break down whatever wall has kept me from reaching my goal. I want to be healthy and prepared for the inevitable "life change" approaching some time in the next decade.
You sound like a fun bunch!
Peach

Bye for now!
Thanks for the welcome!
My appointments can't come soon enough - I'm actually looking forward to getting blood drawn - pretty sick, huh?
Looking forward to receiving and giving encouragement here!
Enjoy your night.
