Officially began my dieting 10/1/11. When I got on the scale and saw I was up to 246. Puked up my guts. Couldn't believe I'd weighed that much. Especially considering I'm a very active person. I knew something was wrong and I had to do something.

I am a 61 year old mom of a 33 year old classically trained musician. Can you tell I'm proud? Hubby of 37 years is home with me. I more or less help him as he has MS. He's pretty independent most of the time. I am trying as hard as hell to get rid of the excess weight I've gained over the last 20 years since I had a total hysterectomy. Hormones did me in and finally found a doc who would give me Armour Thyroid and another who works with me with estrogen's, progesterone, etc.

Live in PA in the country and we're working to finish remodeling our home so we can move back to MD. Or somewhere near a city or college town.

Want to get skinny again. Son came to the house after not seeing us since Christmas and says he sees a difference in my body. Scale says very little, but obviously working out is working and it's going to muscle.

Fingers crossed.
