I am a retired school teacher and cancer survivor. I am married for 33 years to a great guy and we have 4 adult children and 2 grandsons. We also have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I began having weight issues after my 4th child and then really put on weight after I had a full hysterectomy due to cancer. I enjoy reading, family history research, art, crafts and playing with my grandkids. I have several health issues including stenosis of the spine, fibromyalgia, anxiety and depression but I am still a generally positive person. My weight issues are interfering with my overall ability to function in my daily life. Thus I am looking for help to lose weight.
