Hello! This is my really first day "on" here but joined yesterday - I don't even know how to post or where this stuff goes - I am 57, and have a metabolism that has come to a screeching halt - 25 pounds since January has settled onto my midsection - they hire me on cruise ships as their life buoy - when someone goes overboard, they throw me over the side and say "grab on to her outer tubes" - saves them the expense of floaties - have not got to start anything yet, but am hopeful of a new way of eating for life and a better and healthier body - I want my life back and I want my husband's life back, too - he has become overweight, also - we are vegetarians who are chunky. Call me Halfmoon -
