About Me:

I really enjoyed being active, and make it a part of my social life. Things are always better for me when I'm engaged with my family and friends with activities. After getting to my heaviest, for my first go-round losing weight, though it's a bit goofy, I kind of got hooked on The Biggest Loser and got fired up. I plummet down 90 lbs., I gained 95 lbs back. A couple years later I dropped 50 lbs., then gained 50 lbs. back. I went to my doctor and was assigned to my healthcare system's obesity clinic about six months ago. I've met in a couple of groups, with a couple of doctors, and currently they have prescribed a weight loss medicine, Qsymia, and I'm giving it a try. My weight loss goal is to lose 100 lbs., but losing 5 lbs. would sure feel good.

Why I want to get in shape:

I want to run again. I want to socialize around healthy activities. I want to be a role model for all of my middle-aged friends and family in trying to stay fit and healthy. I'd like to feel good wearing clothes and be healthy.
