Newbie Intro

I have been here about a week now. Not terribly interested in the forum, but thought I should at least post my intro message.

I am nearly 50, need to lose more than twice my body weight, and am very concerned about my blood sugar because my eldest brother has just started dialysis because his kidneys gave out on him. I can't believe I waited so long to get myself back on track. I have four adult daughters and a husband who is either the best guy in the world or incredibly annoying depending on how moody we are being! I have two really cute granddaughters and am expecting another two grandchildren this October (one early October, the other nearer Hallowe'en) and I'd really like to be comfortable getting down on the floor and playing with them. I have arthritis in both knees, so I need to get some weight off just in self-defense. For Christmas my husband finally took me seriously and got me a 3-wheeled bike and now that the weather is good I am working to regain my biking skills and speed.

I live in Idaho. I volunteer at my local museum and keep busy helping at my church. I sing and act. I haven't done any acting since my knees got really bad, and I'd like to get back to it if I can lose some weight and energy for that sort of thing.

And, that's about it for me at this point.
