Introduction Text My weight has always been an issue for me since age 13. I'm hoping to stay motivated by being actively involved in the Spark community. I am excited to join Sparkpeople. I am entering a new chapter in my life....my 50's! And I want a new and improved body to go along with this number.

I could actually lose 65 pounds but would be extremely proud of myself if I could lose anything at this point. On 3 separate occasions, I have lost 70 pounds but have never kept the weight off for more than a year. My goals are to keep in my calorie range, exercise at least 30 minutes per day, 5 days per week. And just be as active as I possibly can!

Watching what I eat, resisting temptation as much as possible. I am now just starting to exercise. I am extremely active in my daily life but do not actually work out and sweat....that is where the change is needed.

My name is Karen, I am 54 years young and I have been happily married for 14 years to the sweetest guy I have ever met in my entire life. We live in League City, Texas (I grew up in Houston where my entire family still lives). We have one child, er, I mean cat named Simon. My DH and I make each other laugh everyday!

I have always considered myself a happy person. I would like to improve my outside the way I feel on the inside.
