hi there again, i am back after being off for a while. i have had so much happening that i just need to start all over. i started yesterday counting points and keeping up with my food on spark people again. i am reaaly desperate to lose weight. i need to for my health but my daughter is getting married on march 22, 2009 on the beach and i want to look my best. sooo help spark people. I am 51 , will be 52 next month and am 5'6" i weigh 195 on my scales at home which is waaaaay too much. i feel really miserable and have been having back and leg problems i think the extra weight makes it worse. hopefully i will do better this time.

    Hi Gertie, I hope you got my email last night, and that you are having a better day today. Each day is a new beginning. Smile and tell yourself how much better you feel each day as you stay on this journey. Some days may be hard to get through, but tomorrow is always another start. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the welcome. I also like to walk. I try to walk about 3 hours everyday, when the weather is nice. I live in central California. Our summers here can reach up to 110. On those days I try to walk early in the a.m. or late in the evening.
    Are you on any certain diet? I'm following the Biggest Loser Plan. It allows me to eat every 2-3 hours which is good for me b/c this way I don't feel hungry at all. I like SP. They have alot of different threads and alot more info than BLC has.
    Have a good day and chat with you again. Karen
