I am a 52 years young and have struggled with weight my entire life. I was overweight in elementary school and lost 30 lbs. in the summer between 6th and 7th grade. Kept most of it off until kids. I gained 50 lbs with my daughter and 35 with my son. I lost most of the weight but a few pounds stayed on. Fast forward to present day, after knee surgery gained 20 lbs. Tried WW last year without success. I am a lifetime member and usually am successful with the program. I think my age ( going through menopause) is huge in holding me back. I started logging and have been almost perfect for 2 1/2 weeks. So far I am down 6.8 lbs. with 30 to go. I am determined since my cholesterol is high and there is diabetes in my family. I also do not want my other knee to go.
I would love to buddy up with someone in a similar circumstance. Always need encouragement.
