Introduction Text Nova Scotia Woman, member since Sept 2008. Didn't really start to spark until April 2010 though and now starting again in September, 2016. Up and Down. Always up and down. I have to get a little obsessed with my eating or I fall off the wagon. Once I start eating junk-food again, it may be 6 months before I can break away. I've tried every diet and exercise program in the world. I have an arthritc hip and a few back problems that limit my exercise at times. Being diagnosed with diabetes at age 43 was really scary and straightened me out for a while. I'm looking forward to getting back on track. It's a lot of work and time-consuming, but the energy you get from healthy living is amazing. Addendum September 2016: I've gained most of my weight back and I'm going to start sparking again with a couple of Spark friends. It's going to take me a year to lose 50 pounds because I cannot realistically lose more than 1 pound per week. It just doesn't happen for me. Frustrating that it comes off so slowly when I see other people peeling it off but that's just how my body works. Can't compare myself to others!

My new goals for 2016-2017: Lose 5 lbs per month, 10 times! I want my BMI to be in the healthy range.

Eating in moderation and exercising as my back allows me to.

I'm 51 years old and 5'5" tall
