Lee ( BOPPY_ )
I'm a 66 year old married male who lives in New Hampshire.
I had lost 101 lbs in 80 weeks before joining SparkPeople. (I started with another program at 306 pounds, and was 205, when I joined SP.)
In 19 weeks, I've lost 19 more pounds on SparkPeople, and have found the people and resources great. I've got about another 11 to lose.
When I joined SparkPeople, my goal was 180 lbs; after computing my current BMI, I've changed my goal weight to 175.

BTW, "Boppy" is what my Grandson started calling me when he was 2 years old. He's now 9. He dubbed, my wife, Beth, "Mimi", about the same time. He still calls us by these names, today. And, so we shall both be known by the family ...
Pet peeves: censorship and wading through religious blather (pardon the redundancy) to get to any topic!
Note: I've HAVE NOT achieved my walking goal without the back surgery, so now I must reevaluate my goal.
