I am 66 years old and still fighting the battle of the bulge. But at least I'm still fighting! I have about 40 pounds to lose; every time I start a weight loss program I gain. It's as though my body says, "You only think you're going to lose." But my daughter has introduced me to SparkPeople and so I'm going to give the old college try. I'm looking forward to getting motivated and getting the weight off once and for all.

SparkPoints: 10,542

Fitness Minutes: 8,874

My Goals:
My goals are simple: get my weight down about 35 pounds and my clothes down about 2-3 sizes. My AHA moment came when I realized1 more pound would put me in the BMI obese category, and my target is to get into the healthy range.

My Program:
I am determined to get onto SP everyday and to track my calories when I do. Weighing and measuring portions has become a way of life. The biggest challenge has been to get my husband to realize I am actually doing this, not just talking about it. He is retired and has become the family cook, so his cooperation is vital.

Personal Information:
I live in Colorado, supposedly the thinnest state, and supposedly one of the healthiest states in the Union. I want to be part of that success, not one of the detractors who might ruin that rating.

Other Information:
I am deeply immersed in a wide variety of metaphysical activities. I welcome correspondence with those who share this journey.

Hi Carol -- thanks for the comment on my blog! Yes, very sad about the cart -- I bought that thing in 1986, when I got divorced and was fending for myself WAY out in the country... but certainly owes me nothing after all these years. DH is all too happy to do anything and everything for pretty much anyone else... but, of course, the "shoemaker's children go shoeless." No freecycle for this girl, I've ordered a new cart to the tune of $300 and am happy to get free shipping! (you break it, you buy it!) Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog...

Thank you for dropping by my blog. Yes, we are lucky if our DHs will support our efforts. Because we need that! I haven't got the wherewithall to do the job for him as well as for me.
Good luck on Sparkpeople, it's got everything you need.

Carol, thanks for the comment on my page, and for the flower Goodie ! I can certainly use that... my garden still has a couple of feet of snow piled up on it, and they are predicting 5-9 new inches of snow here tonight!!! Grrrrrr...

Meanwhile, however, I was merrily starting my tomato seeds today (indoors, obviously) -- can there be anyone with more faith than a gardener that lives in the Michigan Upper Peninsula?

Finally, thank YOU for being my friend, too!
