Hi my name is Marudy,I'm 54 years young and have been married for 3 years. I have a 28 year old son. Up until 2 months ago I was a professional cook for 22 years at the same restraunt, now i'm unemployed.So with being unemployed and the stress I have in my new marriage, I find it hard to stay focused on losing weight. I love to cook and my weight shows it my husband however is skinny as a rail like about 120 pounds.......Trying to cook for me to lose weight and cook for him to gain weight is almost impossible. I like to walk and swim; but motivation is the key. I live in Montana so walking is cool in the 3 of the 4 seasons. Not much into winter sports so in the winter I have a tendency to go into a hibrination mode. I was in weight watchers 29 years ago when I was pregnant with my son. The doctors didnot want me to gain too much weight. I also swam 4 days aweek and it worked;I only gained 25 pounds.After the baby was born ww did not work so much, gained more than I lost. I started again 8 weeks ago because a friend of mine lost 45 pounds. I thought I'd give it a try again, started out strong and now it is beginning to be a struggle.
