Hi! I'm a 40 year old with two children.My husband and I have been married 19 years. He and I and our two sons ages 12 and 19 live in the mid-west on a farm. I would like to be able to not wear plus sized clothes and not be winded when walking on family vacations. In addition to feeling better and looking better I need to exercise to not be depressed. My big goal is to lose 60 pounds.

Log into sparkpeople every day without missing a day, and spend time entering food and fitness minutes, on challenges, reading articles, and excercising!

READ MY GOALS EVERY DAY !!!!! Exercise cardio 10 minutes every day (to start with) by walking, exercise videos, etc. At least 2 days a week I plan to lift dumbells. At least 3 days a week I will walk or do an exercise video. I will drink 8 glasses of water every day. I will track my food on sparkpeople 1 time per day after I write it down on paper. Make my goals more detailed and obtainable-- Complete with rewards such as , new exercise clothes/smaller clothes, ;), shoes, work out videos, just for fun movies, nights out on the town, massages, etc.

I need to do this because I have a history of heart disease in my biological family and to stave off depression.

I enjoy music and art. I play the piano. I read gardening and fitness magazines when I get the chance. I love to cook. I love to play with my kids and work in our garden on the farm where we live.
