Hey FatSecret Friends.

My name is Judy and I have struggled off and on with weight issues since the fourth pregnancy years ago. When I look at the years most of the time I was successful in keeping it off but this is the second time in my life I have let myself get really heavy. So, I certainly don't want to keep it on. Now that I am older I can feel more stiffness and muscles aching and I don't want to go into the last half of my life like this.

So, I had just started counting calories on my own and I happened to find this site. I am very happy to be here.

More about me....I am a musician, teach piano, sing, do a children's choir, sing the old Appalachian ballads, do water colors when I have time, 4 grown children, 2 grandbabies, applying for jobs, trying to save the family land.

I've loved everyone. I want to love myself enough to make good choices.

So, here we go!!!
