Newbie to the site not a newbie to trying to lose weight ! I can not imagine how many times I have started and failed at this but this time I am make a HUGE promise to MYSELF that I am going to use common sense , not look at the overall amount of weight I need to loose and focus on 20 lb incruments at a time ! I have been married foreverah to the love of my life since I was 18 and we have 3 great kids , 5 grandkids and 3 yorkie furbabies .... all are spoiled rotten .... and DH spoils me pretty darn good too ! We have been dealing with his health issues for a number of years and I kind of forgot about myself so now it is time to look after BOTH of us !!! In the winter we both are pretty sedetary but once the snow melts , the RV comes out of storage then we are on the go as much as possible when he isn't at work ! I am a homebody so will have to force myself to get and walk during the day and away from my craft table . Life hasn't always beeen easy but we have percevered through the rough bumps ..... anything is possible when you put your mind to it ! Hope to find some great support here !

    Hello Gramma5, I’m a Gramma too (actually I am NaNa to them). The hubby and I are a lot like you and your love, we love to get out in the Motor home in the summer (when we can) and hibernate in the winter. We’re going to try and change that this year! My love and I are doing this fitness pal together (we both LOVE it). Also on the 30th of April we are quitting smoking thru this other site. I/we are very excited and nervous as a new chapter of our lives unfold. I just wanted to wish you luck in this Journey, hope to see you around!
