Hi Everyone,
I just joined and hope I may join the TOFF - I am over 70 and have been off and on Atkins for years. I'm ready to start again and hope I can stay on a low carb lifestyle with the help of this forum!
I have COPD and exercise on the treadmill. However, for the past 2 months I have been going to Pulmonary Rehabilitation where I exercise continuously on various machines for 2 hours! There are therapists there who monitor our heart rates, breathing and oxygen level. I listen to books on tape while on the treadmill - the only way I can tolerate the boredom of the TM!. I like mysteries - Clive Cussler, John Grisham, Michael Connelly, and of course Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series - they are a hoot!
I would like to lose 70 - 80# - I know my breathing would improve, but am also concerned about "loose" skin. If I were younger I would like to lose 100# but don't think that is feasible at my age.
Happy New Year everyone!
