Hi,

I am a 37 year old mother of two teenagers. I recently retired my career as a nurse to start an independent career as a cosmetologist. I have been overweight most of my life. I struggle with high cholesterol, and hypothyroidism. I lost 54 pounds about three years and manage to keep all but 15 pounds off. Now, I am going to try to get these last 40 pounds off, but, this time, goin to try to do it the healthy way. I am not viewing it as a diet any longer, but, rather, a way of living. I have been able to maintain a low fat lifestyle for over a year now, and with that decreased my cholesterol 63 points. Now, to add calorie and carb management on top of the low fat way of life, and get the rest of the weight off.
