Hello my name is Girtie Lou Harrington. I am 56. I lost my husband of 26 years 4 years ago to pancreatic cancer. Thought my world would end but i met a very wonderful christian man and have been married for 3 years now. I have a son 37 who has given me 3 beautiful granddaughters and a daughter 28 who has given me a wonderful step grandson, 17 and two year old twin grandsons. they are my life . I've always been pretty active but in the last two years i have had to have 2 total hip replacements left and right hips and this last one I had about 2 months ago. It's been a slow recovery. still cant walk very good on my own. it took about a year to get over the first hip replacement so.... I am struggling with this weight. I am doing weight watchers on my own because it seems like the healthiest eating. I need all the encouraging and help I can get.
