Introduction Text I am 54 year old and I am a wife and a mother of 5 beautiful daughters. Grand-mother to 8 beautiful grand-children. I have been keeping 15 pounds from each pregnancy. I have lost the same 60 pounds 4 times now and I am making this the last time. My blood pressure is high and is controlled right now by medication. I would like to lower it to get off said meds. I want to lower it without medication. Update March 14 2015. I am vegan since the beginning of the year and my food intake is great. I have lost 30 pounds so far. Exercise every day. At my last medical exam, I was on the road to diabetes and my level of cholesterol was out of control. That scared me to death. I want to be a healthy full of life old woman. I am taking care of my body. It has nothing to do with vanity anymore. Focus is easier to keep when you think of your health instead of your looks. Update December 30th 2008. I have changed my profile picture as I decided to stop hiding behind my cat. :) This is me at 247.5. I have gained back 28 pounds. I am not proud of it but I know what to do. Starting January 1st, I am back on track. I NEED to lose this weight, once and for all. Fit by fifty. That gives me 2 full years to lose 68 pounds. I don't think it is a far out goal. Update April 14 2009. I have changed my profile picture once again. I am at 255. Update April 30 2010. I am very motivated and doing all I need to do to get to my healthy weight.

I started at 257 pounds and my goal is 185. I am giving myself one year to do this. First goal: 10% of 241 lbs( my current weight) = 25 pounds.

I am walking, bike riding, swimming laps, and doing Beachbody workouts. :) I am staying under 1800 calories.

I am in Gatineau, Quebec.

Music is a part of my everyday life. I listen to pretty much everything. My favorite group is Marillion. I dream of going to see one of their concert in London one day.
