Introduction Text I got the doctor's orders to lose weight on my 62nd birthday (May 25,2008). Since then, I have lost 122 lbs. But the hardest part is right ahead of me. I have lost and gained those pounds over and over. But my attitude is still positive and I am loving the exercises and I really want this time to FINALLY succeed. Recently I have hired a personal trainer and she pushes me to do more and I love it. I went to the Spark Convention in Cincinatti and it really gave me a big boost.

to build a lifelong habit of healthy living. My ultimate goal is to be happy with the person I am and it includes in part my appearance, my attitude and my personality.

I started this journey on my birthday ( may 25) I am not doing anything so weird or extreme. I exercise 30 minutes or more every day. That can be swimming, walking, or exercising at the gym. When I had enough strength to do more, I added a personal trainer to advise me.

My name is Mary Gardiner and i live in the outer suburbs of Virginia in Fairfax. I am an accountant and I probably will work til I reach 70 in 7 years. I am a decent bridge player and swimmer. I read everything I get my hands on and even listen to books on tape when doing the daily commute.

I love Sparkpeople! It is so great to have companions together on the journey.
