Mother of three, three grandkids, trying to lose 93 lbs.

I joined this at my daughters prompting, she helped me set it up because I have limited computer skills. (Said daughter shakes head)
I've been battling my weight most of my life, it wasn't really a problem in my life until four years ago, when I excepted a position that required long hours of sitting in front of a computer screen, and entailed a great deal of stress.
So I was inactive, and ate to deal with the stress.
I have since left that position, and have come face to face with the toll that job has taken on me.
I am more overweight then ever, and with arthritis I find my mobility has greatly decreased.
I am desperate to get healthy by losing weight and engaging in a daily exercise ritual.


Side note from daughter:
I've been on mfp for over a year, and its greatly helped me in realizing my calorie intake. i think this site will greatly help my mom, and I've told her often how great the people on here are. How supportive and helpful.
Any adding, advice, or anything will help both of us out immensely.
