Introduction Text Hi Everyone! I am a 64 yr old married female and mother of a 31 yr old daughter and a 28 yr old son. I work full-time. I live in Florida. As you might be able to tell from my name, I like to write poetry. I also like country music because to me it is poetry set to music, about people and their lives, which is always of interest to me. Sometimes I read when I come upon a good book. I would like to grow flowers and think I will start to do that when the weather cools here a bit. Mostly I spend time with my family and occasionally friends. I enjoy movies as a way of relaxing and being entertained. I haven't been obese my entire life but gained weight after my children were born. Then I dropped 37 pounds, through a diet plan where most of the food was frozen and pre-prepared. I gained it back and more! This time around I am doing this to be healthy and to learn to eat regular food in a non-excessive way. I am also an emotional eater and feel like I get addicted to sugar. When menopause set in, all of a sudden (or so it seemed to me) there was all of this weight! I got up to 202 and finally set my mind to losing it. When I found Sparkpeople, which I am so grateful for, I had dropped 11 pounds. My new mottos are "Every day is a new day , a new beginning" and " A pound lost is a pound not gained". I feel very positive and hopeful. I look forward to meeting new people. I am here to support you as well as seeking support and friendship. Best wishes to all of you as we go on this journey together.

I would like to lose 53 more pounds, feel better ....have more energy and fit into a size 10.

I am eating fish, fruit, veggies, whole grains and drinking water. I am walking outside and doing the "Walk Away The Pounds" tapes.

I live in Florida. You can call me p0! I am 64 years old. My email address is p0etiss@gmail.com. Please note: The 0 in p0etiss is a zero! Best wishes to all of you.

"Success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life as by the obstacles they have overcome while trying to succeed" -Booker T. Washington. "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" _?_ It is not just a cliche...how do you want to be treated?
