I am a 62 year old Norwegian/Irish Minnesotan from Wisconsin. I live in my home that I share with my 30 year old daughter, who lives in the lower level apartment. I have three weiner dogs that bring me great joy. I work four days a week, having recently cut down from full time. It feels good not to work so hard - I have been working full-time since the day after I graduated from high school. Uff da. That's a lot of years. I am looking forward to retirement as I am very interested in crafts, baking, reading, volunteering and gardening. I had my left knee replaced three years ago - which helped me put on some weight. Last winter I was very sick with pneumonia and severe asthma - on large doses of prednisone for a long time. Another huge weight gain. Today I am looking forward to losing 35+ pounds - one day at a time. I would like support from this community and look forward to your comments.
