• cicichi6000 posted an update in the group Over 70’s, with a lot to trim and wanting a simplified life

    Howdy to all group members. When I saw this group, I know I wanted to be a member. I’m 72 and need to loose at least 100 lbs (7 stones). I know I am on the down slide of life’s playground and I want to help myself with a chance to live each day that I have left be as enjoyable and healthful as possible. Thus far I am in the “red-zone”: high blood pressure, high cholestol, diabetes type II, and sleep apnea; all this besides being over a hundred pounds overweight. If I were a car, the owner would be looking for a new one.
    But, I count my blessings that I have lived as long as I have and I want to enjoy each day given to me.
    Looking forward to sharing with many of you.

    @ hdarling: glad to be in the group with you. Like you I sit on my rear end most of the day. Trying to get in the habit of every 45 mins., getting up and doing some stretching and walking around the house. Need to get motivated to do more exercise, like walking outdoors; especially when the weather is nice.

    @ patrogers34: You are an inspiration to me. 80 years young and still working at improving you life. As they say: “You go girl!”

    @ I hope with this TDC you will be able to relieve some of those medical reasons which brought you here. Wishing you healthier days for you and all of us.

    Adios for now.
