I'm Back (Again)

Hi, my name is Jean and I am 59 years old and obese (I so hate that word). Anyway, I am 5'7 and 218 pounds. I want to lose at least 50 pounds but it is so hard to do it. Yesterday and today I got up and did my gazelle. I did 10 minutes yesterday and 15 today. When I get home from work I will (hopefully) do another 15 or so tonight. Hopefully this time around I will stick with it, I am so tired of the extra weight. I had been down to 110 pounds back in 1983 (went through a divorce and on my own). I came back home and my mother got a hold of me and I started eating. Problem is, didn't pay attention to the weight and it crept up. I got married again and he is from the South and loves to cook (fried food) and I love it. Anyway, in that time I quit smoking and also started eating and I blossomed. So now is the time to get on my gazelle and walking program and get to work. Hopefully along the way I can make some new friends too. Good Luck to everyone on this long road, maybe we can do it together.
