Hello from Newbie

  • Hi everyone. New to this site and hoping to connect with others to share our journey.

    I am married, and have two grown daughters, and twin granddaughters. We are empty nesters and I mean empty. I just recently lost my beautiful dog, Lady, of 15 years. The house is not the same.

    I am 50+ and weight has been creeping up. Need to find another outlet other than FOOD!! Looking for a lot of support and motivation.

    I like scrapbooking, started digital scrapbooking, hope to take a photography class soon and go back to my quilting. I work F/T as a Practice Admin for a Medical Clinic, so a lot of temptation at work with food. I use to belong to a gym, but broke my foot and have not really been exercising.

    Anyway, glad to be here.


  • Sorry about your doggy

    You should find all of the support and information you need here! Good luck
  • Hi, Sorry to hear about you losing your doggie. We are animal loves too, and know how much it hurts to lose one that you love.

    I am married too, and have 1 son and 2 granchildren. I cannot even imagine twins! OMG, what a blessing, and what a lot of work.

    If you would like to be e-mai buddies let me know. I have 15-20 lb. to lose. I am a nurse at a local hopital and know how it is to go to work every day and some kind of goodie is there looking you in the face! I have learned to take one piece of the best. If it's just ho-hum I don't bother to eat it. It's not worth the calories. I think if you do that you will find most things are just "ok".
