Before After

New look of EP

I like the new look of EP, don't you?  Its more modern and up to date I think.  The new support group thing is really interesting too.  I'm going to try that when I get the chance.  I've found 2 new friends, which is great cause a lot of my old friends have stopped blogging.  Hopefully I can find some support with them.  I've GOT to get back on this weight loss wagon.  I have 11 months to go until I'm 50 and I don't want to be fat and 50.  My new granddaughter is coming next month and I hope that she will never have known a fat grandmother!  Anyway, I"m off to physical therapy.  Everybody have a great day!!  TTYL

Hey Buddy

Yep, we all need all the support we can get! I actually joined weightwatchers. That was what I wanted for my birthday. Eight a 12 weeks pass or elegant dinner with my husband. Was a hard choice. :) Anyway, a friend through work is joining with me starting Monday. I also have a membership to a gym that I haven't been to in months. It's so hard to stick with changing your habits. Last year when I turned 50 I SWORE " This is it!" Eight loose the weight or just forget about it. Well, now I just turned 51 and heavier than before. I haven't even stood on a scale. I think its about 217. You're doing great! Only 26 pounds left! Better that 50 or more. Take care 1

You are doing great!

I was looking at your graph and stats and you are doing an awesome job.  My hat is off to you. 

I want to let you in on a well kept secret.........the 50's are the hottest years of all.......It is like you really become  of age, you are fearless, you speak your mind (I use to never do that...didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings), all inhibitions are thrown thru the window, you literally know that you are worth more than you could have ever imagined, you are proud of yourself......you LOVE your body, all of it's flaws suddenly become a distinguished part of your character....the list goes on and on.  Trust me, I have been there and when you get to 60 I will tell you the well kept secrets about this age!!!!!

You will be a super hot grandmother!!!!  Know how I know, you got the desire to be and the right ingredients to be one. 

Blessings from one granny to another.   Chargail

My mom would have to agree with Chargail

...she felt the best she ever did in her 50's. And look at Oprah! 50 is the new 30! You are gonna be one hot grandma! Already are! You really are doing great, ya know? And it looks like you have some more new  EP friends! Yay! I see that you started a support group, too! Dieting Grandmas! I love it.

Good luck and have a great weekend.

Hi there!

Thanks for stopping by my blog and your kind and encouraging words.

Age is a state of mind. You sure don't look like a grandma!

Many Blessings.
