Introduction Text We live in the Blueridge mountains in Virginia. I have full time job and DH does too. We are raising our oldest GD who will soon be going to college & our ds also lives with us. We also have 5 other granddaughters and 3 grandsons. We have 2 indoor cats, 3 outdoor cats & 1 bird. We also have 1 granddog that are living with us (son's). Have been on and off the Spark web site & on & off my diet in the past year or so. Trying to get back on track again with help. After several years of complaining to dr about the pain in my jaw & the constant "earaches", I finally was dianogsed with TMJ & osteoarthitis in the majority of my joints. Some days are good, some not so good. Learning to live with it.

To lose about 10 to 20lbs in the next year or so. That way I will be back to where I started years ago. Trying to live with TMJ and osteoarthritis and the pain theybring .

Food diary, drinking lots of water, eating a breakfast so I won't be hungry later. More sleep and look into weekly water excercise at the gym.



I sing in our church choir along with the family and have taught Sunday School for many years. We are also big Bluegrass fans and everyone(except me) plays or is learning how to play an instrument. We ride our Harley when the weather & pain makes it possible.
