I belong to a private group here that is "clean' and "modest" and would love to meet others who are like minded. Please, introduce yourself. Thank you..

ABOUT ME:
I am like so many of those here. I have tried and have had varied success losing weight and keeping most of it off. I started my journey in 2001 when I weighed 250 lbs. and over time I have lost over 60 lbs. I have made improvements in my health, but I want to take it to the next step.

My professional life is varied: Pastor, Aqua Aerobics Instructor, Pool Operator, Radiology (Xray) and Nuclear Medicine Technologist. I am a pretty good home-style cook (as per others) and love snow showing and swimming in addition to aqua aerobics.

I got married in1974 to Barbara, we raised two children. Our daughter, lives in Baltimore and our son, who is married, lives about 15 minutes from us and has three daughters, 4 yo, 3 yo, and a 3 month old. We live in Amenia, Dutchess County, NY, about 90 minutes north of New York City.

WHY I WANT TO GET IN SHAPE

First, for myself and self-esteem and for overall wellness and well-being. Secondly, for my family...I don't want to burden my wife with having to be my caregiver as a result of poor health due to things that i could've avoided. I want to see my daughter get married someday and watch her and my son raise their families. I love my wife, son, daughter-in-law , daughter, and grand children dearly and want to spend many healthy years with them. Then as a pastor, and aqua aerobics instructor, I want to be an example to others.
