i'm a 58 yr old woman living in Southern California. been fat since i was 5 and my weight seems to be an issue every day of my life. i'm a very happy person but i'm sick and tired of my weight dragging me down and keeping me from doing ALL of the things i want to do. i was a fast food junkie much of my adult life and i love sweets. now that i'm retired i seem to do less and less when in reality i should be doing more and more! i'm hoping my participation in fatsecret will help to keep me motivated as i continue my weight loss journey; since march 2010 i have lost 80 pounds...and have what still seems like a ton to go!!!
