About Me
I never had to worry about my weight until I turned 30. Then a series of events created the perfect storm to gain weight. My metabolism slowed down, I was in a car wreck and was under an amazing amount of stress. I was able to overcome those through changes in my diet and exercise. Then 40 came and despite exercise and diet I was putting on the pounds for no good reason. Turns out my Thyroid decided to go kaput and I am now working on getting it under control with medication. The downside is that I now have several pounds to get rid of. So, I am hoping this website will help attain my goals.

Why I Want To Get In Shape
I do not feel well at this weight. I love clothes and really don't like those in my current size. I also went to put on my winter clothes and they do not fit. I refuse to buy the next size up. Lastly, when my daughter has her wedding (whenever that will be) I want to wear a beautiful dress and look good in the pictures!

My Inspirations
