Hi Nella,

I am Kris and I am celebrating my 45th birthday today.  Only in the last
year have I started taking my weight and physical fitness seriously.  I am
on weight watchers and have lost 30 pounds with 29 more to go.  This year, I
walked/ran a 10k in 103 minutes.  This is my personal best.  In June, I just
joined a Hot yoga studio.  I have recently started doing a more intense
class called hot power yoga.  The instructors tell me that I look like I am
starting to get better balance.  Basically, I don't think it is ever too
late to try something new or get fit.  Feel free to keep in touch.
