Over-50 Newbee

[Goal2Bhealthy]

Hi everyone. I am an over-50 overweight senior with health problems caused by a combination of heredity and weight issues. There. I said it. Weight causes health issues. I am looking to improve my health and get off of some of my meds. I don't want to end up with a walker, or a wheel chair or in a nursing home. Is that too much to ask? I have to face the fact that what I've done so far hasn't worked. I hope to get some information and support from this forum, and to give support in return. I hope I'm not alone. I hope there are some more seniors posting on this forum.

I'm not much over fifty, but I'm there with you! I can assure you, no matter who else responds here, you are NOT alone. Consider starting a diary and logging your trials, tribulations and successes over there!

Welcome to the forum.

I'm 53. Don't go round thinking of yourself as senior. More a case of youthful with the wisdom that comes with experience.

You are at a perfect age for resolving weight related health issues...

Good luck in your project.
