I am a stay at home Grandma helping to raise my 2 energetic Grandsons who are part of the reason I want to lose weight. I am currently in the process of divorse from an abusive 25 year marriage.(no more comments on that because I choose to celebate that I am a victim no more) I am (PRAISE GOD) a cancer survivor and consider each and everyday a gift. I have chosen to first just get under the 200 mark as my goal. I will be pleased to be able to accomplish that and go on to lose even more. I enjoy reading self help books and finding inspirational quotes on the internet. I am a positive person and wish to surround myself with more of the same. I am looking forward to the weight loss challenge!!!!!
