I'm a middle-aged woman who suddenly sees myself as others do, over weight, and frumpy (for lack of a better word). I wasn't always over weight. I was a size Medium through my early adult years. Seems like ever since menopause hit, so did the weight. Although, my eating habits also changed and have a lot to do with the situation I find myself in now. I'm looking forward to using this site to get myself healthy again. I know I'll never be in the same shape I was 25 years ago but it would be nice to be close to that weight.

As an update, I was recently diagnosed with Celiacs disease! It's a battle but I'm getting through it and I'm beginning to feel a bit better. Anyone out there in the same boat I'd love to hear from you. We can exchange war stories...
