Introduction Text Over 70? Unbelievable! I can't help getting older but I can work at getting better. Part of that process is finally making myself eat what is good for me instead of what I like best.

SparkPeople has given me a goal of 12 pounds to lose by September 9th. I don't think I'll really make that goal. I may change the date to November or December. I think a slow weight loss is better for older people. The skin doesn't have the elasticity it used to have and takes time to tighten up.

My goal is to eat right and exercise so I can continue to be active in my old age. Hard to believe it's already here but where there's life there's hope and I'm hoping to lose weight and learn to exercise.

My real name is Sharon. JAQUANAH is just my name in Cherokee. It is pronounced Juh-Kwah-nuh. A worker at Sequoyah's home in Oklahoma showed me the name using the Cherokee syllabary. Sequoyah invented a syllabary, which is not an alphabet but symbols to represent sounds, so the Cherokee could have a written language. The username JAQUANAH is a tribute to my Cherokee heritage.
