I'm a newbie, Old as dirt and to heavy - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Irene texas · 04-30-2004, 07:40 PM

hello everyone, Just found you. I have just started the new weight watchers point system diet. I am 50 pounds over weight, and 74 years old. I need to get this weight off if I am to stick around for a few more years. I tried the Atkins diet and I would not advice it for old folks. I got really sick on it, really did a number on my gall bladder, and stomach. I found the new weight watchers cook book at Sam's and it has the whole diet in it. I can not afford to go to there meetings much less the joining charge. That sure lets a lot of folks out of the loop with the high cost. But I can do the diet on my own. So hugs,

Good Luck Irene on WW, my mom had good success with it. Where are you from in TX.
I grew up in a small town called Longview. My grandparents were from Hallsville and we had the big farms with all hole nine yards. Let me now how things are going.

Hi, Irene--I have also just started WW, am also a newbie, and am almost as old as dirt! I would love a senior pen-pal to exchange hints and gripes with! Lots of luck to you!
