I am 53 and in March 2012 I was at my heaviest weight 212 pounds. I have always been overweight and have been trying to lose weight all of my adult life. Quite often I would loose a few pounds and then put it back on with a few more. I was doing very well, but went off the rails again. I have almost gained back most of the weight I had lost, So yet again i have to get back on track! I have have a wonderful Lurcher rescue dog, (Mishka) and we go on lovely walks together.
