Hi, i am 60 yrs old, diabetic, insomniac, high blood pressure and cholesterol, low thyroid and of course overweight. I was diagnosed with diabetes and low thyroid at age 19 and 18 respectively. At that time i weighed about 122lbs now i'm at 172, i don't think i want to be that small again (abt a size 2) so i am shooting for 138 and will re-evaluate when i get there. I've been married 29 years and have 4 girls, ages 21-34. Also 2 step-children who are 31 and 34. I have 4 wonderful grandchildren who keep me on my toes.

I was raised in Anaheim, California and from about age 7 spent summers with my Nana in New Hampshire. All my cousins and aunts and uncles are there. My Mom is the only one who moved from New England and my Dad is an only child.

Love to travel, read, go to museums, aquariums, eat, and visit friends and family.
