I am 56 years old and have struggled with my weight for about 15years. I weigh more now than when i was fullterm AND I GAINED 50lbs WITH ALL 3 OF MY CHILDREN. I never had any problems taking off my pregnancy weight. Somehow over the last 15 years i have managed to gain(and sometimes lose) at least 45lbs. When bad things happen in my life i think i run to food to stuff down all that i'm feeling. this time i am starting a program called fat loss for idiots. it's pretty simple, you follow a set eating plan for 11days and then eat normally for 3 days. you repeat this way untill you have lost the weight. i am doing this with my much younger sister,nancy johnson. you might have seen her photo, she's the one with the really strange eyes! I am hoping we will keep each other motivated since neither of us likes how we look at this point in time. i hope to keep posting my progress and i hope i have more good days than bad
