Hi and welcome to SP and our team. Sounds like good goals. I reached my goal of a healthy BMI in November 2010, but I also want to be at the low end of the healthy BMI. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask in our daily chat forum.

Hi -!

A few years ago my husband (NY state native) and I (Iowa native - thus my user name) followed his job from Iowa to Idaho.

My goal is to generally be healthier and to lose a little bit of weight along the way. I am already at the high end of a "healthy" BMI, and I'm aiming to lose 10-15 pounds to land at the low end. I need to improve my fitness, and I'm also hoping that carrying very little extra weight will help me manage the arthritis I was diagnosed with a couple years ago.

Although I really miss my home region (especially the rain there - we're high desert here), DH and I enjoy the outdoors here, and we're learning to camp and hike in some really beautiful country. We also like to cook, and I am interested in incorporating ever more "clean" and vegetarian foods into our "flexitarian" lifestyle.
