I am 61 in June Lord willing and have been battling with this weight since my early 50's. I'm determined to lose weight but I get negative results as times which makes me want to throw in the towel. I've always attempted to be the best I could be in life. I want my body to reflect that as well. To make a statement that I'm concerned about the whole person. This year I believe is my year to accomplish my goal. I'm now at 219, have 69 pounds to go to reach my goal of 150. I want to have the best body possible at my age. My health is fine, I'm just fat and that makes my life miserable. I'm ready to boost my self esteem.
