My name is SUNSHINE_GAL and I’m 63 years old. I have 4 grandchildren; 3 who live in California and one who lives with me due to my daughter passing away. My hobbies are reading, sewing, crocheting and crafts. I also enjoy fishing and camping. I’m a music lover and have a large collection of various artists. We currently own two dogs, Sadie and Precious. We recently moved from California to northern Arizona.

When I first joined Sparkpeople, I was thrilled to see the weight reduction. However, I had some health problems enter the picture, which really interfered with my program. I have heart problems and my fear of exercise didn’t help me. I also have a bad hip and knee problem. As a result, my progress slowed way down. I managed to maintain my weight loss within a 5 pound variance. However, I gave in too quickly and lost my motivation. When you lose a child, your life changes drastically. You become empty inside. The stress, depression and worry consume your days. The joys of laughter are few and far between. I needed to pick up the pace. I needed to care about me and get healthy. My daughter would want this and I want it too. Therefore, I started again on June 27th, 2011 with new goals and determination. As a result, I've lost another 19 pounds. I thank all my very dear friends here at Sparkpeople for their compassion and ongoing support.
My weight tracker has been updated to reflect my total loss.
MOTIVATION:
1.) 76.3 years old is my body’s age based on the Real Age web site due to health issues and being overweight. That’s 13.3 years older than I am. It’s time to turn the clock back.
2.) My granddaughter’s support during my journey to a better life. She really supports me and always gives me a big hug when I tell her I've lost another pound. She is so proud of me and tells me so every day.
3.) I want to be healthy!
