Introduction Text May 17, 2021. Tomorrow we will be married 19 years, and I've been a member of Spark People since January, 2011. Interesting how both marriages and weight loss programmes have their ups and downs, but with both I'm still here. June 12 - interesting that I would write that just before Spark People posted their notice that the programme as we know it is shutting down... and that it is only for people in the U.S. from now on. Not happy! but have joined a new programme, Fatsecret.com, and am looking forward to continuing my weight loss journey there. Hope to see you there.

To be as healthy and fit as possible at 77 so that I can enjoy travelling with my DH and playing with our 4-year-old granddaughter.
