Hi, :wink: My nurse practioner suggested I try this site to monitor my nutrition levels. I like that it divides up the foods so well! I try to exercise 1-1/2 hours a day - mostly on a bike - either stationary or road. Doing better this last week. I know that working with a group helps and am looking forward to "meeting" you all.

My hobbies, unfortunately, are all done while sitting - quilting, crocheting, reading, any type of handwork. I like to travel. i am a high school special education teacher/American Literature for college-bound juniors and seniors teacher/Work Experience Coordinator for students who need off-campus work experience. Stress is my middle name during the school year.:drinker:

I want to lose the weight for many reasons - one of the most fun ones is that I want to scuba dive in Hawaii but don't have the body for Hawaii at this point.
