In April of 2017, I had a midlife crisis. It started with a gallon of store-brand Cookies-n-Cream ice cream and a David Gray song. It ended with a 71-lb.weight loss and a desire to look younger, sexier, and healthier (I went from 216 lbs. to 145 lbs.)

In the last six months I've gained back 50 lbs. I can blame it on my increased workload due to Covid, my husband's recent hospitalizations and surgeries, and the deaths of several horses as well as my graduate-school best friend. I am ashamed of myself for both the weight gain and the excuses!

I had been a member of SparkPeople since May 2017, but that site has shut down. I liked the community I found there as well as the free trackers; I'm hoping Fat Secret will help me to pull myself back together again after a particularly difficult past few months.
