I'm 68 and live in the midwest most of the year, but usually head to south Texas or Arizona for some of the cold winter months. We have 3 living children and 2 adorable grandsons, ages 9 and 6. Being overweight has been a problem for me since my last pregnancy 40 years ago! I've probably lost 750 pounds in my life, only to put it all back on time and time again.

I'm 68 and live in the midwest most of the year, but usually head to south Texas or Arizona for some of the cold winter months. We have 3 living children and 2 adorable grandsons, ages 9 and 6. Being overweight has been a problem for me since my last pregnancy 40 years ago! I've probably lost 750 pounds in my life, only to put it all back on time and time again. I also have osteoarthritis and hauling all this weight around is not good for that. So, in the interest of preserving my replaced hips, enjoying life, and above all being healthier, I'm working on improving my general health and becoming more active--would love to keep up with the grandsons for a very long time! SparkPeople is giving me that chance!

My Goals:
My overall goals are simple. I want to lead a healthier lifestyle that helps me to have the energy and enthusiasm to be active and happy. In order to do this, I will take off the excess pounds by eating healthier and exercising.
My Program:
My program is also simple:
1. I will eat within my daily calorie range of 1340-1690.
2. I will eat at least 5-7 freggies each day.
3. I will eat 3+ dairy products each day.
4. I will eat 2-3 protein servings daily.
5. The remainder of my calories will come in the form of carbs and occasional treats.
6. I will exercise a minimum of 20 minutes daily 5 days weekly.
7. I will include strength and stretching exercises in my daily routine.
8. I will weigh in weekly and actively participate in the 5% Winter Challenge, as well as my team activities.
9. For greater accountability I have made my trackers public.
Other Information:
I love to read, do genealogy, sew and spend time outdoors. We garden a lot and I can and freeze the produce. We spend as much time as we can with the grandsons.
