Introduction Text I am a retired, arthritic 74 year old and I weigh 298 pounds. Between April 15, 2004 and April 14, 2005, I had three joint replacements, hip and both knees-October 18, 2007, sugery for stage 2 colon cancer(so far, so good)-May 18, 2008, fromEmergency room to two weeks in hospital, a month in a nursing home, rehab., for congestive heart failure and my doctor said I was pre-diabtic. Every physical health problem I have would improve with weight loss and I can't get out of the "I want my cake and eat it (the whole cake) too" attitude. Go figure!! I'm nuts!! I need help!!

Keep a diary of food&calories of everything I eat, good or bad. Motto: " If I bite it, I write it." Eat healthy. Exercise every day. Do my rehab. exercises and add to them, as able.

Try and concentrate on all the things I could do if I weighed less. Follow my goals.

My name is Marge and I'm from Iowa. I have five children, five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. I have been a single parent for 38 years (married twice) I'm a retired L.P.N.

I like the outdoors,nature, animals and have a spoiled, calico cat. My kids and I enjoyed camping, back when they were "kids", good thing, it was the only way I could afford family vacations. I'm a compulsive reader. I always have a book going and reread books I like.
