Dearydear from Mississippi


I am a 59 year old Southern grandmother who is many, many pounds overweight. I have seven beautiful grandchildren I would like to be around for and to watch grow up. I also have several medical problems and my doctors and I have decided I really need to drop the weight. There is no time like the present to do it!

    Now that you have put your mind to it, you will have the success you are wanting. Just remember, the weight didn't go on over night and it sure won't come off over night. But your making progress and in time your goal will be made. Health issues don't have to hinder you, at most they will just slow you down some. I had a new knee and a new hip replaced last year, so some of the suggested exercises can't be done... YET!! But I have a long term goal to get back where I was 40 years ago. WE CAN DO IT!!

    Hi Dearydear. I am also a member of the sp class of jan 13-19 and was a just looking through the post challenging us to meet team members. I saw that you were having fun with the challenge and decided to say hello. I was not active when the challenge started, my boys were sick, and am playing a little catch up. Looks like you are off to a great start. Keep up the good work.
