Hi,
I'm Danielle. I'm 48, been married for 25 years and have 4 children, DD 21, DS 19, DD 16 and DD 13. Oldest is in college, but is only 1 1/2 hours away and comes home each weekend to work. She can make a whole lot more money here than at school. DS is working construction, but is considering college options. 16 yo is a junior in high school and 13 is in 8th grade. I work part-time as a nurse in a small psychiatric hospital. I also do word processing at home for "fun money", and also demonstrate occasionally for local ACMoore doing yarns and paper crafting. I am 5' 2" tall and didn't hav a problem with my weight until I had a hyserectomy at age 39. I had problems with my uterus for a number of years before the surgery and was glad to get the surgery, but immediately afterwards I gained 30 pounds and have since put on 10 more. I have joined a group at church that began last week called First Place. It is healthy eating, exercise and support, while giving Christ first place in your life. It includes a weekly bible study too. Our diest is based on exchanges in each of the food groups and is similar to the American Diabetic Assoc. plan. I'm not sure I will lose all 40 of the pounds I gained, but that is my ultimate goal. I hope to lose at leat 15 pounds in the next three months. Thanks to Robyn for starting this blog to help keep us motivated.

Hi Danielle...I am the church secretary and we began "First Place" a few months ago. We finished the first session and in 2
weeks, we'll begin another session. Our bible study was absolutely awesome! I only lost a few pounds but didn't really apply myself. I want to do better this next time. The retired Pastor from our church is in charge and she is very good! Talk to you soon! Cyndi
Nice to meet you Danielle good luck with your plans
