    Hi Lou, I'm Deb and I am also fifty and have 40 pounds to lose. I have two grown children and three grandchildren. I also did weight watcher and lost 108 pounds counting points, when I had added up how much I had spent in the three years I was there, I decided to say good bye, and do things on my own, I was doing great untill my mother pasted away two years ago, kind of got off track and decided at the new year to get my butt moving and lose the fourty pounds I have gained in the past two years. My daughter was the one who told me about sparkpeople and I love the site. On Friday it will be a week sence I joined and I'm waiting to log my weight loss till than, so far I'm doing great! So welcome to the group and I hope that I and the rest of us can ge a source of help to you! God Bless Deb from michigan
