Introduction Text I joined Spark People in December of 2007 - so I have been here a while. I struggle with weight issues and have for many years. In September of 2015 I was admitted into a weight loss clinic run by our local hospital. I learned that I am severely insulin resistant and was able to lose 60 lbs over the course of the Optifast program which I attended until March 2016. Now I need to continue my weight loss through diet and exercise. The Optifast program proved that I can lose weight successfully, so I need to acknowledge that and follow through. Spark people give me the support and tools I need to be successful. Besides which my darling daughter, who is the best diet buddy ever, is also on Sparks so we can keep in touch and spur each other on!

My long-term weight goal is to get to a healthy weight of 140. My short-term goal is to be under 240 lbs by June 2017 My exercise goal is to exercise every day for a minimum of 30 min. My stay active goal is to do hard active work (either out or in) for a minimum of 1 hour 5x/week

I am keeping a 1200-1600 cal/day range depending on my physical activity. I am logging my food each day. I am using WATP for cardio, and using free-weights, bench and ball for strength 3x/wk

I have been happily married for over 30 years to the one guy in the world who is totally perfect for me. We lost our eldest son on March 13th, 2016 and two remaining awesome adult children.

I love reading, playing spider solitaire, and cooking.
