    :smile: Hello. I'm a grandma too. 8 grandkids with one more on the way. I just joined this site in January after my yearly physical and was advised to lose some weight. I have some arthritis also, but mostly in my hands and feet. Glad to meet you and many good thoughts to you.

    I also am a grandmother, I have three with a fourth on the way this summer. I joined in January, I've been struggling to loose weight for years, I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes and was put on insulin. My goal is to lose enough weight I can reduce or eliminate some or all of my meds. I have lost about 30 pounds before I started but it has taken me 5 years to do it and I seem to be stuck right where I was at for the last 2. My grandbabies are what is keeping me going, that and my new husband. I want to be around to see them grown up and to be healthy enough to travel with my husband.

    I am happy to meet you all. I am not a grandma but I am 60 years old and have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabestes. I find losing weight to be the hardest thing in the world but I have to get it off and get off some of these meds. I work full time so I need the motivation to actually "move" when I really just want to collapse on the couch. I hope we can support each other through this challenging period.

    I am a 58 year old granny with 2 grandkids. I joined a year ago and quit after a few weeks. My father in law was in a coma for a week before he passed away. We were away from home for over 2 weeks supporting my mother in law and the funeral. I ate a lot of bad food and the only exercise I got was walking from the parking lot into and out of the hospital every day. Then I got really sick when we got back home and I just never got back to it.

    I'm a grandmother, but my grandkids refer to me as Nanna. Between my husband and I, we have 10 grands and another one due in the next few months. Please feel free to add me! I do my best to exercise, eat healthy, and do try to encourage others to do the same! I haven't mastered this workout/healthy eating habit, but I've made some great progress.

    WELCOME BACK! I am 63 and have three wonderful grandchildren. I've lost 11 of the 55 pounds I need to lose. I love MFP. I've done so many weight loss programs and this is the BEST! It's all about being consistent and getting positive reinforcement from each other. Would love to be your friend!:happy:
