So nice to meet you Merry Mel. I’m Carol, just turned 63, retired hospital nurse. At my heaviest I was 148lbs. Gained due to menopause and stressful job. I’ve always been active, but it wasn’t enough to keep the weight from creeping up, so joined FS 5 years ago. It’s been a slow process, especially the last 10lbs( I’m 5ft 2 in)
My husbands family lives in York, Nottingham and cleavesthorpe(sp?) his mother immigrated to the US after the war. She married a yank from Pennsylvania. She had a long and happy marriage, but she grieved leaving England. I am from Massachusetts but now live in Tennessee w my husband . We have 2 children and 6 granddaughters. Best wishes on your health journey. You will beat those last 7 lbs, just keep at it!
