Hi everyone. My name is Linda and I am new to this site today. I am a 56 year young female who needs to get back in shape. I have gained 34 lbs over the last 16 months and hate it. 24 of them since Oct. when I was trying to quit smoking. I have been smoke free since the end of Nov. 08 now:bouncy_smile: I was told in Jan. this year that I have the early stages of COPD and that sucks big time. I am a clogger, and love that. (Clog Dancing) Very high energy, and I do that twice a week for two hours each time and we also go to workshops and we also demo. Trying to be more vegetarian. I feel better when I stay away from the meat. We love juicing our veggies and fruits. Any way, wanted to say hi and hope to make some friends with similar goals here. Thanks.
