I AM A 54 YR OLD GRANDMA WHO HAS BEEN BATTLING WEIGHT ALL MY LIFE. I HAVE HEART DISEASE, HAD MASSIVE HEART ATTACK, HAD OPEN HEART SURGERY, HAVE DIABETES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL AND A BONE ON BONE BACK PROBLEM THAT REALLY MAKES IT HARD TO WALK OR EXERCISE AT ALL. I STARTED WEIGHT WATCHERS ON JAN 9, 2008 BECAUSE I WANT TO BE AROUND TO SEE MY GRANDCHILDREN GRADUATE, GET MARRIED, ETC.,AND CONTINUING DOWN THAT PATH WOULD NOT HAVE ENABLED ME TO DO THAT. I HAVE A FANTASTIC, SUPPORTIVE LOVING HUSBAND AND WE ARE ANXIOUSLY AWAITING RETIREMENT. I HAVE THREE CHILDEN, 36,32 AND 24 AND FOUR GRANDCHILDREN 16,9,6 AND 4. MY DAUGHTER IS MY BEST FRIEND AND WE LAUGH ALL THE TIME. I LOVE LIFE AND FEEL I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE SO I AM TRYING TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT AND I AM THANKFUL FOR EVERY DAY AND I AM TRYING VERY HARD TO ACCOMPLISH MY WW GOALS. TO DATE I HAVE LOST 30.8 POUNDS AND MY CHOLESTEROL AND DIABETES ARE ALREADY IMPROVING. MY ENERGY LEVEL IS BETTER TOO. I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM ANYONE ALONG OUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEYS AND I WILL HELP AND SUPPORT THEM TOO. SO, HELLO TO EVERYONE AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON. I AM SO HOPING TO LEARN SOME TIPS FROM OTHERS. THANK YOU AND TAKE CARE-GRANNY SCHAF
