I was small skinny kid, always told to eat! when I was 19 I suddenly began to gain weight and for the rest of my adult life I have had to diet and exercise to maintain my weight. I sometimes let myself go and gained and would have to really work at getting my weight back down. I did really well until about 6 years ago, I remarried. My husband loves me no matter what and he also loves a big dinner every night. I also stopped exercising and have a sedentary job. I have gained 50 lbs in the last 6 years. Not good. My joints are killing me, I am very uncomfortable. I joined curves yesterday and went to my first Zumba class. I am determined to get my weight down to where it should be so I can feel and look better.
