GRANDMAr
HI!
FIRST, LET ME SAY THAT I ALWAYS TYPE IN CAPS....IT IS NOT INTENDED FOR YELLING. LOL
I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN NEW YORK CITY. MY HUSBAND AND I RETIRED TO FLORIDA 2 YEARS AGO AND WE LOVE THE WARMTH VS. THE COLD.
I AM A WIFE (42 Years), MOTHER (2 children/ 2 children in law) AND A GRANDMOTHER OF 3 OF THE MOST REMARKABLE CHILDREN. I AM ALSO A SISTER AND A RETIRED EDUCATOR.
I WAS ALWAYS THE TALLEST AND BIGGEST IN MY CLASS. NOT THAT I WAS FAT BUT I WAS JUST BIGGER. MY WEIGHT PROBLEMS REALLY BECAME AN ISSUE WHEN I BECAME PREGNANT AT THE AGE OF 21 AND GAINED OVER 55 POUNDS. I LIVED ON McDONALD'S AND ICE CREAM! I NEVER REALLY LOST ALL THE WEIGHT AND AS THE YEARS WENT ON, I GAINED MORE AND MORE. I AM MORE THAN 100 POUNDS MORE THAN WHEN I FIRST GOT MARRIED.
I'VE TRIED MANY METHODS OF LOOSING WEIGHT BUT WITH LITTLE SUCCESS. 5 YEARS AGO I WENT THROUGH THE PROCCESS FOR SURERY BUT 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED DATE, I BACKED OUT BECAUSE I DID SO WELL WITH THE DIET PREP. NOW 5 YEARS LATER AND SEVERAL MORE POUNDS, I AN 3 WEEKS AWAY FROM SURGERY. I HAVE A LOT OF SPINE ISSUES WHICH PREVENT ME FROM WALKING A LOT, IF AT ALL. I GET STEROID INJECTIONS IN MY SPINE TO HELP WITH THE PAIN........NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT ISN'T GREAT FOR WEIGHT LOSS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO MY NEW ADVENTURE AND SHARING MINE WITH YOU AND YOURS WITH ME. GOOD LUCK TO US ALL!
