Widowed and Retired. Quit 50 years of smoking 2 years ago. Ate more and gained even more weight. I have always battled my weight. Recently was tested and advised I am now diabetic. At age 65 I am way too young to feel this bad. My goal is to lose weight and improve my health. First I just want to get under 200 lbs again.

Since April 10th, Before joining here, I had already lost 20 lbs with most of it being water. My goal is 2 lbs a week and to celebrate my 66th birthday at 175 lbs. I quit smoking but you can't cold turkey food. I hate being and being labeled morbidly obese. I need to do this for me.
