Introduction Text I am 58 years old and live in Round Rock, Texas. When my father passed away in October, 2017 I moved in with my mom as her caregiver and also work as a caregiver part-time with Senior Helpers. I never had a weight problem when I was growing up, in fact I was tall and skinny. That changed when I went on disability in 1993 and I just wanted to eat to feel better. My weight ballooned to 270 lbs. After moving from Maryland to Texas, I joined TOPS in 1997. I very slowly lost some weight. In 2009 I decided that I needed to do something, and I joined SparkPeople. So with the support of both TOPS and SP, I reached my goal in July, 2010. I became the 2010 TOPS Texas State Queen. That really got me out of my comfort zone! I love to write and have begun to love to travel when I can.

I want to maintain my 109 lb. weight loss and continue my journey of discovering my new self!

Keep a food journal, count calories, and exercise!

I live in Round Rock, TX with my mom and my cat! I am a member of TOPS (Take Off Pounds Sensibly).

I love to read, watch tv, listen to my iPod, work on jigsaw puzzles and work on my family's genealogy. I have recently begun to travel and was able to go to Paris and am now scheduled for trips to England in April, 2020 and Italy in November, 2020.
