I started Peertrainer in January of 2006 with only a dream of losing 65 pounds, with my first goal of 50 pounds to be lost by January 2007. I have lost 47 of those pounds, slightly short of my goal, and feeling great. Still motivated to reach my goal although it's slower now. Update: Sept. 30 2009 I have managed to gain 20 pounds but am now back on the road to a healthy lifestyle once again.
I keeping having to add a year to this! Okay, I am a 57; accomplished many of my goals in life, with the exception of attaining a healthy weight. My life is full with a wonderful family, terrific friends and a great career. I'm a former special education teacher, now developing a center in a large, university medical center to support the educational, chronic and end-of-life (palliative) care needs of children and their families. Work long, unpredicatable hours and have bad knees and feet. Knee replacement is recommended by my orthopod, but risks are higher with excess weight. I want to reduce the possibility of poor outcomes/blood clot/infection. Need to lose weight and strenghen my quadriceps. Here I go.... ready to succeed!!
I am married (hubby retired), in my late 50's, do not work outside the home and am an obvious pet lover (4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird, several fish...). I have 1 grandchild and another on the way! I enjoy reading and crafting.
