Hey everybody!

It makes me glad to join this group of folks who share the same mindset. Everything shared on this page, from the info to the resources, has been a big help, and I'd like to give back whatever I can. Weight has been an issue for me before, and I did manage to shed some, but a foot injury means I can't do my two mile loop anymore, which was what kept the pounds from piling on. At 55, my goal is to be as healthy as possible, since I'm no spring chicken any more. My journey kicked off in January, and I'm down 20 pounds so far. Sure, it could be coming off quicker, but slow and steady is what I'm after.

My hope is to add something useful to the page.

Cheers!
 
Welcome aboard. Sure, do update us on how the foot pain goes — best of luck with it. I deal with plantar fasciitis myself, mild to moderate, so I'm interested to hear. I've picked up the shoes, the insoles, and tried some PT, though usually I just pretend it isn't there and hope it clears up on its own. That approach — waiting it out — did the trick for most of my life, but getting older is rough. Wishing you well.
