| About MeI am a 79 year old great-grandmother. I have one child, a daughter, seven grandchildren, ten and three/fourths great grandchildren. I found this site by accident in January. I started working on my weight loss in early 2008 and lost from 184 to 162 by January 2009. As of June 13 I weigh 146. I was feeling guilty for using your site and all the great posts and not even letting them know I was here. I take care of three of my little ones while their mothers work, and they keep me quite busy. One is 16 months old, one will be 3 next month and one turned 4 in March.
Update: January 7, 2010. My weight is now hanging around 133. I am very satisfied with this weight. So are my doctors. I've been at this weight since early October, and my plans are to stay on NM the rest of my life. Thank you, NM, for giving me this new lease on life!!!
Update May 19, 2010. My weight is still hanging in there at 133 to 135.
My GoalsI have now reached my first goal of 145 lbs. I always said I would be happy at 150 lbs., but now that I am at 145, I want to be at 140 lbs. My main objective is to be healthy. I have had rotator cuff surgery in my right shoulder, have 2 stints in my arteries because of 90% blockage and 95% blockage. Tests show that I have improved tremendously since losing weight. I take medication for blood pressure and cholesterol still, but hope to be able to get off them in the near future. I want to increase my exercise but the children take up so much of my time that it is hard.
Update: Here I am in September at 136 pounds. My new pictures still look too fat to me, but don't feel like I should lose any more.
Update 9/27/09: Reached my goal the doctor set for me this AM. Now on to maintenance. Hope I can be successful with the increase in calories NM has given me. Now 1509 without exercise. Oh Me!!!! |
