Hi, I'm Merry (born on Christmas so my first name is spelled this way) After hitting my late 30's, I have struggled with my weight, lost some, only to gain back more each time. Never thought I'd have a weight problem because both of my parents were slim. Last July was the all time highest weight, 225. Today I'm 205 I keep trying and I'll keep trying until I get it right, My health depends on it, literally., I don't want to take anymore RX and want to be able to stop taking what I do take. The picture I posted was taken four years ago at 180 lbs. My goal is to be at a healthy weight on my 60th birthday. I can use all the encouragement I can get. Thanks
