I'm 55 and here I go again!

I live in the Catskill Mtns. of Upstate NY all my life and love it here. Married for 36+ years to my best friend, 3 grown kids, one son in law, one and "a half" grandchildren(due in Dec.), one dog, one cat and one frog. I love to make teddybears, tole paint, walk, hike, garden-just about anything outdoors. Most of all, I love spending time with my family.

I have been up and down with my weight for over 30 years. I've done WW, Atkins, South Beach, The Best Life, probably a few others, besides doing it on my own. I'm back to WW and am losing it slowly, but it seems to be easier this time because I have finally realized, it's not a race, it's not as much as about how I look so much, but how I feel. And it's about getting healthier and being able to keep up with my 2 yr old grandson, and his soon to be baby sister or brother.

I don't know how long it will take me to get to a healthier weight this time, but I do know, that I WILL get healthier no matter how long it takes. I've had a few health issues in the past few years, so I am going to do what I promised myself while in the hospital both times. I got a second chance, and I'm not going to let myself get that sick again.

Hoping to find some new friends here to get/and give support:)
