I'm a diet pro! I've been on them all, at least once, and have lost more than myself in body weight. In 2006, I had gastric bypass. I lost 90 pounds, but never made it to goal. I was 11 pounds away. I struggle with 10-15 pounds up and down, and truly do want to reach my goal. Low-carbing is the way to go, at least for me!

I'll be 55 on 9/24/08. I don't feel 55, nor do I act 55. I refuse to be an old lady. My husband and I are raising our oldest granddaughter, who is 7 years old. We have 4 other grandchildren, and they're the joys of our life.

We live in NE California, and work for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. It's an interesting place to work, a prison, sometimes very sad for my mother's heart.

We have 4 acres of land, and 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a 6-week-old kitten.

My hobbies include playing scrabble on line, genealogy, readng, and anything else that keeps me from cleaning house.

I hope this is the place for me to come to lose that extra weight!
