I am 72, love to cook,enjoy music and reading and time with friends and family. Had open heart surgery in December and restricted breathing, so trying to get my weight down so I can become more active with less effort. My husband of 52 years (love of my life!) is on this journey with me as he has a similar amount to lose. We started adjusting our eating habits 2 months ago, and he has lost 18 lbs and I have lost 13. I have modified recipes to include more vegetables and fiber, especially soups, trying to not modify the taste, and my husband, who is kinda picky hasn't tasted the cabbage I have added to soup or the zucchini I added to chili!!! Join us on our journey. I'd love to share recipes.
