I am going on 71 years young and growing along with it. I suffer from COPD, and have clogged artery issues as well. My wife and I live in Gresham Oregon with our daughter, grandson and granddaughter. My daughter and grandson have a muscle weakness, which limits their abilities, so my wife and I care for them monetarily, as well as, any other help we can offer.

I plan on walking about two miles every other day, when our weather permits. My right heel gives me problems with soreness so walking is spotty at best. I need to lose a minimum of 30 pounds to make my breathing easier and to keep loose. So far, only three days into it, I am doing well as far as sticking to the parameters set up for me. My first weigh in will be Wed. 3/5. We'll see just how well I did over the first week at that point.
