About Me

Hi, my name is Beth. I'm 55 years old and have been happily married to Larry for 35 years. He is my biggest blessing from God. We have 3 grown children who are also married and I am grandmother to 12 beautiful grandchildren - 6 of whom I delivered. Yes, that's right. I did say that I delivered them. I've been a midwife for 10 years and deliver babies for a living. It's the best job on earth!

I'm 6 foot tall and as a teen and young adult I weighed anywhere from 135 to 145. I have a very small frame even though I am tall. Being over weight was never a problem for me when I was young. But after getting older and having children that changed. My heaviest recorded weight got to 204 lbs.

I have been able to loose almost 60 lbs using websites like NM to log my food and exercise. And the best thing is I'm keeping it off. I now weigh 148 with a BMI of 20 and I feel young again.
