Introduction Text I am a 78 year old retired female residing in Central Florida. I was born and raised in Florida as were parents, which makes me a rarity, or some people say that...I did venture out of state in my late teens and early twenties, returned in very early thirties. That was when I couldn't take NY grey skies and cold winters any longer.

to continue my workouts (currently 5 days a week at the gym, 8 classes and water walking),continue my weekly WW workshops and daily SparkPeople activity.

My doctor put my on a low carb diet over a year ago (when I joined SparkPeople) which finally allowed me to remake goal. I struggled with low thyroid and hormone balance....thankfully, I am now in balance! So, my plan is to continue doing what I am doing and keep a close monitor on my health.

My entire adult working career was spent in the insurance industry, the last 25 in the health insurance industry from the company side. This gives me a different perspective than most people towards the whole medical arena. I am more interested in treating the cause of a problem rather than taking a lot of pills. I am fortunate that my only prescription is my thyroid meds. Hopefully, with diet and exercise I will keep it that way.

Confession, I am a gym rat, always have been. I can now work out in the morning rather than trying to get there after a long day at work. Or, if I was traveling, try to fit it in after a long call of meetings! Happily, I love working out and the great classes at my gym. The Olympic size pool has a great shallow land I can walk in, which my feet really appreciate.
