Ready to make a change

Hi! I am 46, wife , mom , and "honey" to 9 grandkids! Have battled my weight most of my life. Back in my late 20's early 30's I lost over a 140 pounds and felt the best I have ever felt! I want that back!! I gained it all back plus some - went thru some rough times with my family resulting in my 12 yr old brother to come live with us permantly. (best thing ever for him!) And when all that went on I lost my motivation. Crazy how hard it is to get to exercising then you get hooked on it and hate to miss it..it was so easy to get out of that routine and I have not been able to get back to it!
I have a lot of habits to change that go back to growing up, hard to break habits that you were taught growing up.
I now have to show my grown daughters that they need to change there eating habits for thier sake and the kids sake!
My husband and I started out this year with the goal of this being out year to get back in shape! he is not really over weight, just needs to lose some in his belly. He is planning on retiring next year and we (espeicially myself) want to be in shape and feel better for this! Plus I am very very involved in all my grandkids life and want to be around for a long time for my family!
The plus side to wanting to get healthy ths year is I didnt realize I might be having health issues that I was not aware of. I went to a weight specialist and they ran a routine EKG. The doc said that my EKG "suggest" that I could have possibly had a heart attack! What and eye opener! I am currently waiting on seeing a cardioligist this friday. I am faithful it will all be okay. Just God letting me know that it is past time to get myself in shape! As of right now we have changed out eating habits now going on 2 weeks. My husband has always been the meat and potato type man and he has even changed his way of eating which has made it easier on me! Sorry to ramble on just wanted yall to know my story somewhat! I am looking forward to the support here, I know I need it!!
