I'm a 59 year old woman who is finally and forever done with unhealthy habits. I've lost probably over 1,000 pounds in my life on every diet plan imaginable and it took me until now to realize I have to do this for myself, with myself and by myself and figure out what works for me. I guess I'm a slow learner, but better late than never and this time it will stick. I need to lose a person and I know it will take some time, but this time I'll learn what I need to know to make success last along the way.

When I started I had over 100 pounds to lose which at my age takes a long time. I've lost 28 in about 2 1/2 months and am inspired to kick it up a notch and keep it going.

Eating lots of produce, eating virtually no convenience (chemical-laden) or fast foods, adding more daily activity to my life. I'm tracking my caloric expenditures with a Bodymedia Fit arm band.

We live in Parish, NY and have a summer place in Clayton, NY in the 1000 islands. I'm tired of snow and cold and look forward to moving to a warmer climate when I retire in a few years.

I used to train and compete in dog agility before work got in the way. That helped to keep me active in spite of my weight but now my dogs are all old and past their competition years. I got my marine captain's license a few years ago and we enjoy our boat on the St. Lawrence River all summer.
