I am a retired teacher that has battled her weight since birth. I was born a whopping 9lbs.12 ozs. and have gained steadily. I am a proud Baptist and love my Lord with all my heart. I am a wife, mother and grandmother. My life has been truly blessed but the weight problem I am now going to conquer. I hope to have your encouragement and pushing and I know I will get to my goal of a healthy 150 Lbs.
