Introduction Text Hi. I am 59 years old and have had a weight problem since my late 20's. My weight has been up and down over the years. I have taken as much as 75 pounds off at a time, but always gain it back and more. I am finding it increasingly difficult to do most everything and want to get in shape before it is too late. I started Sparkpeople in January 2013. At first I lost weight pretty regularly, but then I stalled and got discouraged. I am trying to stick with it despite multiple setbacks.

I would like to get down to a weight where I am in the normal BMI range. I would like to be able to enjoy everyday activities and feel healthy.

I have been trying to follow Sparkpeople diet guidelines and walk for exercise. I am trying to get in better shape so I can start an actual exercise program.

I am originally from Md. I moved to Al 7 years ago after living in Va for a number of years. I have 3 children- 2 boys aged 28 and 26, and a 24 year old daughter.

I love the ocean and hope to retire somewhere on the east coast. I enjoy reading mysteries, doing puzzles, gardening, and handwork- such as knitting, crocheting, counted cross-stitch.
