I met the most amazing man over two years ago. He is, literally, the perfect match for me. We both love to garden & to cook & the first 6 mo of our relationship we both gained 30+ pounds :) While I'm happy we have not gained more (!), I'm ready to get serious & take it off. I have back issues & extra weight really aggravates it.

I met the most amazing man over two years ago. He is, literally, the perfect match for me. We both love to garden & to cook & the first 6 mo of our relationship we both gained 30+ pounds :) While I'm happy we have not gained more (!), I'm ready to get serious & take it off. I have back issues & extra weight really aggravates it.
When I was single, my life consisted of working 50 hrs a week, getting my gym time consistently & having no problem controlling my diet. I was in the best shape of my life in my 40's! But I stopped doing what was working & now im out of shape & overweight :/. I keep telling myself, 'it took a year to put it on, so give it time to take it off' I love our relationship & wouldn't trade it for anything.

My life has dramatically changed in the last 7 yrs...my mom died, my husband of 24yrs abandoned us, because he was a pastor I lost most of my relationships, my birth mom found me, 3 children got married & my two youngest daughters started college, & 7 grand-babies have entered the world! That's a lot of grief, stress, & joy woven into my life. I've learned that change, while painful, is good. Very good. This too shall pass. After the darkest period of my life, the time I truly felt I would never know happiness again, happiness returned to me. For that i'm both amazed & grateful. This journey, for me, is about being healthy, balanced & happy.
