Hi My Name is Susan and I've fought with my weight since I was about 14 years old. I have four grandchildren ranging from 17 to 7 months. I am 5'2" and just broke the scale at 203 lbs. I'm fed up with not being able to get up off the floor without huffing and puffing or walking very far, I'd like to clean my kitchen in one day.

I hopeful I can find the motivation and support to bring my weight under control. I need all the help I can get. Thanks for letting me vent!

    You can do this.. I am also a grandma of one very active grandson that I couldn't keep up with. I was obese when I started this last september but now I am over weight with 15-18 pounds left to lose.. If I can do this anyone can fill free to add me..

    That's great incentive! If you need support, feel free to add me. MFP is a great resource and all the people here are really encouraging. Like an online family. Good for you for taking the first steps toward change.
    Good luck!

    Hi Susan. Welcome to MFP. I just joined this week. I'm 65 and I, too, want to see my grandkids grow up! Came here because I'd lost lots of weight and it was starting to find me again. Not this time! You can do it, Susan.
