I am 60 years old and will be retiring in 2011, I have been married for 26 years, have a 24 year old daughter who is getting married next summer and it is time to turn things around.I have struggled with my weight all of my life. My weight topped out at 292, scared me that I was so close to 300lbs, at 5 foot 4 inches I am almost as round as I am tall. Even though I have been over weight I have over all been pretty healthy. Then over the last several years I have started to have many health issues related to my weight and age, high blood pressure, pre-diabetic, arthritis, trouble getting from point A to point B. I have tried many times to loose weight but always gain every thing back plus more.How I am at a point where it is now or never. I know what I need to do I just the support and motavation to get there. I am going to start out with mini steps, first recording everything I eat daily. 2nd starting an exercise program. So far this site seems to be very easy to use and has lot of supportive people so I think that it will really help me to stay on track.
