Hello my name is Cecilia and I am 56 years old with 3 married children and 8 grandkids. I am a dressmaker/alteration person. I have been trying to lose weight for years but just having such a hard time doing it. My doctor told me I am borderline diabetic, so he had me talk to a nutritionist and she told me about my fitness pal. I am 186lb and my goal is to get to 140 she gave me 7 weeks to get to 173lb small step I hope I can do it never been able to get pass 180 so here I go. Started Monday with my fitness pal and I really like it. I didn't do to good Tuesday but, I am not going to give up. I am going to prove to myself and my family I can do it. My father always said never give up.

    Keep it up!! I've been using the site for 3 months and am seeing a difference. I don't always do great, but I'm hanging in there!! I find that sharing successes and challenges helps as does encouragement from others. I've got more to lose than you, but we have some similarities. I'm 2 years older, have 2 grown children and one grandchild, and though I only sew for myself or my family, I do enjoy it. Sent you a friend request!
