I have been away from these boards much too long. A lot has happened since I last posted.
Now I need some support! I have gained soooooo much weight since my hubby died in 2003. I have always had trouble with my weight but now it's ridiculous. My bathroom scale this morning said (yikes) 228.5!!!!! I never, ever weighed this much and I birthed 4 kids. I eat pretty well, when I eat. That's part of my problem. Not eating at regular intervals. My other BIG problem is lack of consistent exercise. I live in a beautiful place. A National Forest area actually. Very few people and everyone owns at least 5 acres of land, most own more. So there isn't much traffic or lots of people to bother me. I love to be outside but manage to piddle inside so much that I just don't. And then there is the late night nibbles (big ones)! If anyone remembers me, I am 62 and retired (since hubby died). I have a lot going on & I let it keep me from what I know I should be doing.
Soooooo! I need help to keep me on track with my healthier eating and walking habits. I need lots of encouragement. I am on blood pressure meds and my doc wants to add more. I know I'm killing myself slowly and I have to change. I want to be able to watch my grandchildren grow! I have a grandson now who will be 2 on March 30 and a granddaughter due in April. I help my daughter so my grandson doesn't have to go into day care.
Feels good to be back ladies. Hope I can read and post regularly again.

HUGS and welcome!! As you know, these are the most wonderful ladies and a great place for support!!
