I will be turning 59 this year. Five years ago I had a hysterectomy and four years ago I had knee surgery. I have put on some pounds. I do believe that the hysterectomy has thrown all I know about eating and weight loss out the window. Since joining the 5% challenge teams my weight loss goals are being attained. I do realize that without the support of fellow team members it would be so easy to fall back into bad habits.

I have two dogs. Corkie and Maximus. I am married to a retired firefighter. We have been together 37 years.
