I LOVE this thread! It's just what I needed to find today for motivation. Thank you!

I have gradually let myself slide only to find that now that I am older and have less (or no) estrogen due to menopause and tamoxifen, I cannot easily lose weight like I used to be able to. So this will take some work! But I am worth it! We are all worth it!

My healthy goals are:
Lose 10 lbs
eat 5 servings of fruit/vegetables daily (rainbow of colors)
reduce alcohol intake
some form of exercise daily (even if just taking a short walk or bicycle ride)
