I'm 42 yrs old, have two boys - 21 & 19 (both in college and very proud of that!). I have been pretty active all my life even though I've always been over weight the majority of my life and I think that's what kills me the most! I've been working dogs in Search and Rescue for 14 yrs now and there's just no way to explain the feeling of having a partner like them. I am on a mission now to get healthy AGAIN and find that balance of maintaining it (that has been a real issue for me). 3 yrs ago I hit a major snag - somehow damaged my SI joint and that's when the weight packed back on. It has taken a long time to know what I can/can't do w/out aggrevating it. So w/that said...on 9/24/12 I was given an eating plan to do and it's been a great journey so far and I've FINALLY found what works for me. I have set mini goals along the way and very proud to say that I've hit every one of them before or on time. My major goal is to be at my goal weight by June, 2013.
