Married with three adult sons. I work full time at a university where I am also pursuing a Masters degree in theology. I also have a small part time job so I am VERY busy.

I was doing Jillian Michael's work out videos 5 days a week but recently hurt my foot and so have been unable to work out. I am hoping to get back to that soon.

I am the heaviest I've been since being pregnant with my sons many, many years ago and at 53 really want to get to a weight where I feel healthy and fit. I also feel losing this weight will help my foot to stay healthy with less weight to carry around.

I've struggled with my weight all of my life.

Looking forward to being part of an on-line community of folks trying to get fit.
