I just turned 55 a few months ago, and I am approximately 35 pounds overweight.  It's my goal to get down to 137 pounds by my next birthday.   I have lost 6 pounds so far, and have about 30  more pounds to go.  I have started hiking, doing cardio, and lifting weights.  My goal is to transform myself in the next 8 months.   This was a picture from last year, but it gives you a good idea of what I weigh.  I am basically the same weight as then.  So, in the next few months, I will post updates until I check this one off!
