Goal weight - 140. People who meet me now don't know that I was obese; I like that!!
At my heaviest (221 lbs), hiking was dangerous - I was happy to hike here at approx 200 lbs.
Above the treeline is our favorite place to be; being fit and healthy makes it achievable - Aug '09
I have 16 pics in my gallery

Healthy at 50 for Life
At almost 50, it has taken me about 5 years to lose 85+ lbs and to completely change my perspective on living. My amazing spouse (of 27 years) lost 70! Now, I am dedicated to maintaining this achievement for the rest of my life one day at a time.
My focus is nutrition and exercise. I've learned to love myself enough to do what's right for my body and my health. I started out believing I was unhappy because I was fat. I now know that I was fat because I was unhappy.
