Introduction Text Hi! I'm 56 and I have had a stress ful 2 years. My husband of 28 years passed away in August of 2014. Since then I have down sized and moved to a much smaller house. It's been tough just getting from one day to the next, and I've managed to gain all the weight back that I lost six years ago. I think my life is finally beginning to settle back into a more normal routine and I'm ready to get back with the program. I know from experience on Sparkpeople that the best way for me to lose weight and eat right is to track everything. I've learned a lot about setting goals and working towards them step by step. I know it works. I've done it. I've had a few false starts they past year, but I think the time is finally right. Here's to a great year coming up.

My goals at this time are mainly to eat healthy and develope a healthier lifestyle. I really want to reach my goal weight (140) by June. I also want to make my real body match the image I have of myself in my head, the way I looked 20 years ago, BK - before kids.

I am logging what I eat everyday and trying to stay in my calorie range. I stopped drinking cokes and I eat many more fruits and veggies, less simple carbs. I exercise almost everyday.

My name is Barbara and I live in Arkansas with my 24 year old son, Mark. Climbing back on the band wagon to lose weight I have regained over the past couple of years. Because of Sparkpeople have been able to lose 40+ pounds and have a new lease on life. I have gone back to college to major in History. I never thought I would get my old figure back but here I am.

My favorite book of all time is "To Kill A Mockingbird" by Harper Lee. Other favorites are: Pride and Prejudice - Austin The Time Traveler's Wife - Neffenegger Out of the Dust - Hesse Favorite Authors: Jane Austin; Fannie Flagg, Karen Hesse, Harper Lee, Laura Ingalls Wilder.
