I'm a 48 years old. I work at a desk and not much gets activity, except my brain! I have 3 grown children and 3 beautiful, full of energy grandchildren. I've been over weight for most of my married life (almost 30 years)and I've recently decided that this part of my life is coming to an end. I don't want to be heavy any longer and am willing to do the work for however long to get the weight off. I have great support from my family and my oldest daughter has joined me in the search for the thin person that lives inside of us!!! I have recently had major knee pain (bone on bone) and doc says weight loss will ease this so it's not all appearances that makes me want to do this! I'm pain driven!!!! Doc says 10 lbs is like 60 lbs on your knees, so....! Also, want to have the energy and stamina to keep up with my two 2 year old granddaughters (not twins, sisters just had babies 2 1/2 months apart!) and my 3 year old grandson! I'm determined to stay on this road to the end and reach my goal!
