HI all

I"m 49 Canadian and married with 3 children. I started gaining weight after my first was born 21 years ago and it slowly creeped up. I had surgery a few years ago which after that I gained another 18lbs and my activity level hit the dumps.

What sparked me to do something about my weigh was a series of things that fell all at once into place, my weight went over 250lbs which got me thinking I'm closer to 300 than 200!! I was huffing and puffing doing very simple things even though i was fairly active. A dear friend passed away that aug and she was only 4 years older than me.

I had lost 35 lbs with sparkpeople but then i injured my knee and couldn't exercise and just totally fell off the wagon. well i'm getting ready to get back on the wagon just have to find another way than what i was doing.
