Guess I should introduce myself too. I'm 65, married to a farmer who won't wear his dentures so I cook a lot of soft things. Well that is a lousy excuse for some of the things we often eat but it is true. Anyway I retired from nursing last year as those 12 hour shifts were killing my back. So I took up quilting and sitting instead of walking. I've had a weight problem for 20+ years and it is really inhibiting my activities now. I've tried Weight Watchers several times but it costs too much now days. I hope I can get support from this group and will check the thread every day. Looking forward to this.
