I am 47, 5'4", 180lbs; I was born & raised in southeastern georgia, in the mid-sized town of Nashville.  I am Production Manager for a wiring company that makes all of the electronic parts for Chaparral Boat Company. 

I have been trying to loose weight for more than 2 years with only minimal results.  I feel like the yo-yo dieter you guys had on your show back in April.  I don't get home in time to watch your show, but my husband of 21 years does; so he tries to tell me about all the great things you talk about.  He was telling me about a show you had back the ladder part of April which disgussed diets and how to cleanse your colon. 

I am very active still, and it seems the harder i try the less I loose! 

I have 3 children of my own; 2 boys ages 28 & 25; 1 daughter age-19; I have 2 step children: 1 son (deceased at age 20), 1 daughter age- 25; from these children, I have 8 wonderful grandchildren which includes 1 set of identical twin boys.  There are 5 boys and 3 girls ranging in age from 9 to 2 yrs.  My 25 yr old son is a proud MARINE stationed in Quantico, Virginia serving his 2nd term in the corp.  He has come home safely from 2 tours in Iraq and we thank God every day and pray for the parents who have lost a child to this rageing, non-ending war!
