About Me

I am a 69 year old retired office manager. I have gained about 16 pounds since retirement most within the past year. About 6 months ago I injured a knee while exercising and that has kept me from exercising a whole lot recently. My knee is healing so I anticipate exercising again but starting slowly. I think NM will help me to achieve my goal of losing 20 pounds. I like what I see so far. In the photo...I am the gray haired person 2nd from the right.
