Introduction Text Hi everyone, I weigh 263 and want to eventually get down to 163, that is 100 pounds, I have been on a diet all my life and hope to convert that to a healthy eating plan, I do ok for a while but then I fall off the wagon and have a hard time getting up, Wish me luck 9-14-07 Only 99 to go *smile* 1-4-09 I could have just written this as it is as true today and it was a year ago. I am starting again, I joined the New You Boot Camp and the only differance is that I weighed 264 this moring instead of 263. I have gained and lost about 200 pounds and at least I am still in the same ball park. I miss Liz as much now as I did a year ago too, I was going to get a puppy for Christmas but didn't have the money... Boo Hoo, but as a reward to myself when I get under 250 I will do it. I have some serious health problems that I need to take care of and I am doing that.... Just need to Relax more. Edna

I want to eventually get down to at least 163, that is 100 pounds but for this year I chose only to loose 50 pounds, that would make me very happy.

I am trying to reduce my calories and pay particular attention to portion control. I want to stop my most unhealthy habit of cutting way back and eventually get rid of butter (Margarine) and salt, that would help a lot and be healthier. I just want to eat a regular diet with moderation, I tend to stay low carb, because I am a Diabetic and I did loose once on Atkins.

I live in Bradenton Florida and live the good life, I am retired and play every day. I ride my bike a lot and swim almost everyday, I intend to keep increasing these activities until I get stronger. I really want to walk but because of sever arthritis and fibromyalgia it is difficult for me to walk any distance.

I am a retired ER and ICU nurse, I would give anything if I could return to ER, even if I only could work 1/2 days. I loved taking care of the sickest of the sick and making a difference in their life and the life of their families.
