I am married, 43 yrs. and am 63 yrs. old. I have lived on a farm for most of my married life, with a dog, a cat and two horses.
We love the horses, but... we are getting too old to ride and now we allow them to eat in the field and watch them run and play.
I have been gaining weight since DH retired 5 yrs ago and am tired all the time, no energy, hurting most of the time, and I want to feel better, and get into my old jeans ago, since I can't fit into them right now. I plan on losing this weight and feeling better too. I do have some people who have lost weight on the Atkins plan and they are an inspiration to me.
