Introduction Text My name is Brenda and I joined SparkPeople 9 months ago (Aug 2009). I've been overweight all of my life. Although a couple of times in my life I lost 100 lbs, I was still overweight. I ran across SparkPeople while searching the web for calorie counting. Just celebrated 10 yrs of marriage last month and now I am back at my wedding weight of 330. I have already reached a short-term goal and now I'm working on another (to get out of the 300's). I weighed 130 lbs in 4th grade. I've had a hip replacement and have arthritis in both knees.

My short-term goal is to get out of the 300's after over 20 years. My long-term goal is to reach 200's and then get to my driver's license weight of 180 and continue from there. I also plan to keep eating healthier, tracking my food and exercising.

My current program is cardio at least 5 times a week. My hangout is mostly in the pool. I haven't added strength training but will soon.

I am 54 and was born and raised in Oklahoma. I met the love of my life from Brooklyn, NY in July 1996 and we were married April 2000. We have a grown son and 3 grandchildren.

I like taking photos of others and spending time with family. I like working out in the pool. I also like NFL football. Last year I received my 80 pts from my job which made me eligible for retirement. I haven't decided how long I will keep working. Just taking it one day at a time.
