My name is Annmarie and I have been logging into this site for 10 days ... mostly just to track my daily calories. I am 56 and a RN. I always tell people I weighed 14 pounds when I was born and it has been all uphill since then. Yes, I know as a nurse I should know all about nutrition and the dangers of obesity ... well knowing and living are two very different things. I want to lose 160 pounds... and I know it is a pound at a time. :>) Basically I have a rewarding and satisfying life in all areas except for my weight. So this begins a new path for me a day at a time.
