This group is formed to help lose the last 20 lbs and then form sustainable eating habits to keep the weight off. It is an active group where members log every day or agree to leave the group. Even if we mess up, we log at least something or log to say we are out of town etc.

Other Info:
Hazelynut formed this group because she is tired of groups that never log. She has found that when other members do not log, she feels less responsible to the group and then doesn't always log either!!! It becomes a cycle and no one logs!! So she formed this group that really will support eachother. :)

My starting weight on PT was 155 pounds at age 59. I'm now 62, 5'3-1/4", weigh 134.6 pounds, which is up ten pounds from my lowest weight on PT, have gone from a waist size of 37" to 30", and back up to 32", and from size 10 to size 2, and back up to size 4-6, have gone back to school recently, have 5 adult children and 5 grandchildren, none of whom live near me. I'm a volunteer chaplain in a local hospital, an ombudsman in local care facilities, just started a listening ministry to men in the secure housing unit at a super-max state prison 100 miles from my home, am active in a small church so always tons to do there, and am exploring a vocation in ordained ministry, which involves going to a school in Berkeley, CA, 250 miles from home, every three weeks, with tons of homework in between school weekends. I belong to a senior hiking group--we hike about 5-15 miles every Friday. I also belong to a gym where I take yoga three times a week and do weight training twice a week. I also take (almost) daily walks and hop on my spin cycle every day while watching old movies.
I am an educator working at the district level.I was extremely happily married to my wonderful husband for 22 years. He was my rock and my support in everything even though he was physically ill all of our marriage. He passed away in August of 2012 after 4 long years in and out of the hospital. That first year he was sick I gained 30 lbs to a bit over 200lbs. Through Peertrainer and Dr. Fuhrman, I lost almost 80lbs and now weigh 127. I had been attending the untiversity and was almost through with a Ph.D but had to stop to care for my husband. I dont think I will go back. I have a huge supportive family and a lot of good friends. I am trying to find out how to live the rest of my life in a way that honors my husband's memory. He never complained and lived his life to the fullest, refusing limitations. I am working on it! I am vegan, still need to exercise, and an Elvis devotee. That is part of who I am and part of my daily experience. My kids are all grown with kids and grandkids of their own. My goals include getting back to running and finding a way to be happy.
I'm 38 and live with my husband and 8 yr old daughter. She is really the inspiration for my taking care of myself. I have battled my weight since the 2nd grade and even though I have been at a healthy weight since the middle of college; it is always something I think about.
