I'm 47 years old and live in Wisconsin. I'm married to a great guy -- the second time around for both of us and we've been married for 8 years. I have an 20-year old son; and he has 2 daughters, ages 18 and 15. We also have two great English Springer Spaniels, Kelcie and Maggie.

My problem is that I enjoy life too much. We go out to eat too often and entertain a lot too. I usually eat quite healthy, food selection wise. I simply eat too much; and I love to have margaritas and other such high calorie such cocktails. Plus we travel quite a bit.

I have just gotten too heavy. I'm most comfortable around 150-155 pounds. That's where I need to get to, if not lower. Am strappin' on the walking shoes right now.....
