I am 56, live in beautiful Oregon, and married to a great guy, Jim. No kids, but two lovable furbabies, Dusty and Butterfly.
I started my journey to wellness following Dr Phil's plan, and still use it...just need some active support, and hope to find like-minded positive folks who are determined to reach their goals, too.
SparkPeople is a great place! I am so thankful to have found it. :-) I hope to be able to offer encouragement and hope to others with alot to lose, as a way of re-paying the kindnesses I have received along the way.

My Program:
I put the details of my program into the blog entry dated 12/19/06.
In a nutshell, I started with the Dr Phil plan, tailored to fit ME.
In March 2009, I stopped eating sugar and flour. Now, in 2011, I basically follow a controlled carb plan: High fat, medium protein, low carb.
