About Me

I'm 54 years old, and I've been fighting a weight problem most of my life. I've tried many different "diets", and while I'm successful in the beginning, the results haven't lasted, and not only have I put the weight back on, but each time I yo-yo, I end up heavier than when I started. So, now I've given up on "diets" and hope to retrain myself to make healthy choices everyday of my life.

My Goals

Secondary goal is to feel good about my body ... and to be able to buy my clothes without going in to the Plus Size department.
