Anybody else looking to lose weight this year?

12. I agree

Aging sucks! I have had 3 joint replacements and my one remaining knee is hollering at me to give it a rest. Lose the weight. I may end up having to replace the second knee, but I sure hope to put it off as long as possible. It's arthritis. Genetic. My mother had a hip replacement; her brother had two hips replaced; my brother has had both hips replaced.

I was like you when I was young. Ate pretty much what I wanted. Lost the pregnancy weight after both boys were born without too much struggle. Challenges in my marriage started to appear about 15 years ago and that's when I started gaining weight. When our house burned down, I started having a cocktail or glass or two of wine every night when I was fixing dinner. And I was so busy dealing with the aftermath of losing everything--while my youngest son was in his senior year in high school-- that I just threw together whatever dinner was easy every night. Lots of potatoes, pasta, and rice started appearing on our plates, along with fried chicken and hamburgers.

I want my body back, too!
