I've reached that part of life I call the Geezer Club. I love cats, so working on my cattitude. Also, I'm in the process of writing my first novel. I live in the Pacific Northwest of America. I've been a part of another weight loss social media site now since October and lost 17 pounds. Each weight loss site has its own features and plusses and minuses. Thought I'd try FatSecret to mix things up. I want to lose another 20 pounds by summer (or even fall) 2014. I've come to accept the fact that I lose weight at a snail's pace. But that's okay. "They" say that's the best way for permanent loss. Sometimes it gets discouraging, but as long as I'm not going backwards, it's all good. I like feeling lighter and skinnier, the way my clothes fit, the way I look in the mirror. I'm kind of shy, not really a social butterfly, but I love to read about other people's weight loss successes.
