Almost (07-02-2012) 67 year old grandmother. I live in Mission Viejo, CA. I have over 100 pounds to lose. Have already lost 30! Feeling great, feeling optimistic, and I know I can do it. The family is supportive and I have lots of cheerleaders. Especially my doctor, who said I can lose the weight without bariatric surgery and is thus far pleased with my progress. I like to garden, read, cook (of course), listen to classical music and do fun things with hubby, kids and friends. Love my little rescue dog, Georgie, who is my pal most days and walks with me. Fortunately, I do not have high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease or any life threatening illness. The worst thing is self esteem and (slight) depression because of being over weight most of my life. Enough already! I will cure myself and have nowhere to go but up (or down-on the scale, that is). The diet - eating lean, healthful foods and lotsa veggies, fruits and 64 oz. per day of water really helps with depression - exercise, too, of course. As long as I mind my p's and q's, and really plan my days by logging food plans,accounting for social events, etc, I can receive the beneficence of the universe which means I now have to take care of business and get this weight off!!! All the best to each of you, let me know if I can be of any encouragement to you. Leeannbos@gmail.com
