I'm 51 years old, married, vegetarian female. I have 3 cats but love all animals. I work with kids with special needs in a middle school. This is my second career. Before this, I worked 23 years in IT. I like what I'm doing now much better. I like reading, playing scrabble, walking and running.

My high weight was 256. I lost about 50 pounds several years ago, then maintained (plus or minus 5 pounds). When that 'plus or minus 5 lbs' turned into plus 10 lbs, I knew I had to get serious again - not only to lose what I regained, but to continue on down. I met my first FS goal of 165, and reset it to 135. Got diagnosed with hypothyroidism and the weight quickly came back and I disappeared from FS. On medication waiting for my numbers to get back in line. Back to FS to help keep me strong.

10% lost mini goal (194) - 8/31/08
next 10% mini goal (174.6) - 11/7/08
First FS goal (165) - 2/1/09
next 10% mini goal (147.7) - 7/15/09
