I am a retired United Methodist minister who served full time for 37 years in Ohio ,WV, and VA. I bought a new home ,serve as the chaplain with my fire Co, and my wife of 44 years and I baby sit a 14 month old grandson three days a week. I walk my two Jjack Russel dogs 1 mile or more a day and  lost 62 lb on tops and the Duke Rice diet in 2009. My BP is 120/70 and weight is 229. I have low back and hip pain and my Dr. keeps my pain control very good. I made my goal weight of 170 lb two times in the pat on weight watchers in the past as members of the church and my lack of willpower brought me back up. My height is 5-11 and strokes rum in my family.
