Introduction Text Hi...I am 51 years old and have been overweight most of my life. I have tried in the past to lose the weight but never made any real progress. Even went so far as to try one of the popular weight loss programs a few years back...but the cost was more depressing than anything. I have had hypertension for the past 15 years and developed osteoarthritis that has resulted in a total knee placement just last year. Since my daughter found this site a few days ago we have decided to take charge. We are making the necessary changes that will give us a better lifestyle and get us both to a healthier weight. I believe that with this program and the help of all of you....WE WILL DO IT!!!

My biggest goal....A healthy normal weight without all the bumps and rolls. Second...Get my knee in better shape so that I can ride a bike again. Third...Be able to buy new clothes that are stylish and at least two sizes smaller!!

**I had complications after my knee surgery last year and that has made my recovery much slower and more difficult than others have experienced. I don't have good range of motion period so I have tried to pick exercises that will continue to improve that. Strengthening is one of the biggies at this point plus any weight loss will help tremendously. **Eating good healthy meals so that I am not munching in between because I think I need to. **Cut out the excessive caffeine. I can polish off a 2L of Pepsi every day in addtion to any pops that I drink while away from home. (NO wonder I can't sleep at night!) **Work on my sleep habits...not as much caffeine = better sleep I hope! **Focus on the Positive. I have the habit of seeing the bad in things and not looking for the good outcome.

Hi...my name is Anita from SW Ohio. I am 51 years old with 2 grown children and a beautiful red headed, blue eyed granddaughter that will be 2 in June.
