Thank you for the inspiration! I am in my late 40's, post-menopausal, and am working on losing up to 67.6 pounds (LOL - starting weight is from my last doctor's appointment) by my 50th birthday. I have chosen to take it slow (I started with the birthday deadline 33 months away), and after three months, I am almost at the 10 pound down mark (slightly ahead of schedule).
If you can do it, I can do it! Slowly.
