Hi,
I'd like to introduce myself. I'm in my late 40s, and have seen my weight creep up from a low of 134 to 206 (now) over the last fifteen years or so. I'd like to get back below 140 over the course of a few years. My biggest challenges are limiting seconds, eating in the late evening and setting aside time for exercise (swimming and walking).

I just do not feel well and I really think that it's because I cried yesterday on my way to work about my Aunt who is in the hospital. I don't think that we will have her much longer. She is very frail. Now she needs help eating. So, this is the third time in a year that I felt this way after crying. I think crying releases toxins into my body. I also worked up a sweat at the gym...
I'm pretty sure we have friends from all religious backgrounds here. While I'm not very familiar with what it is to be an observant Jew, I would think that planning ahead for success will help you greatly in abiding by the expectations.
This is something a lot of us approach as learning to enjoy a healthy lifestyle... the rewards are unending. From feeling better, to enjoying life more, the planning, the progress. You're with a good groups of supportive friends here. Best of luck on your journey to better health.
