Hello FS friends. I have been battling the weight loss thing since before I left the Air Force. First it was 5lbs while I was active duty, then 10 to 30 after I retired. I have tried so many diets it ridiculous, some have worked but I would put the weight back on. Now I have a grandchild and I want to see her grow up. I am a diabetic and have high blood pressure, yes a ticking time bomb. I think with a great support network I might be able to do it this time. I am married and have 2 grown sons, semi retired but expect to retire completely next year.
