Hi. My name is Celia and I am a 42 year old stay at home mom/nana. I am 5'1 and about 60 to 75 lbs. overweight. Do I want to be skinny? No. I want to be healthy. I know based on my body type, musculature and bone structure I will never be a beanpole and really have no desire to be. I just want to be healthy and happy. I pretty much have the happy part down. Just sometimes the family wants to do something and I feel like I slow them down. Yes, I have health problems that are not weight related that will continue to slow me down, but I believe I would feel better about myself and that would be great. Anyway, thank you for letting me join. I will be here quietly reading posts and threads for a while. It is good to be here.

Welcome to the forum! I'm the same as you. I don't want to be skinny, just healthy. I also have health issues. I was diagnosed with RA early last year. I guess you could say that was my big wake up call to lose weight. You'll find great support here. If you haven't already, do check out the diaries that are posted here. Lots of great information, tips, and support to be found there.
