I am a wife, mother and Grandma of five.  I have struggled all my life with my weight, and am completely disgusted with myself. I need to have a healthy life, so I can live long for my kids and Grandkids. I am 60 lbs overweight.. and have just started the 17 day diet.  I am hoping this is the answer. Am looking forward to the support and encouragement I can receive from this support system. I love music of all kinds,, and am very involved in the barbershop harmony society.  I own a bookkeeping company and love to spend time with my family. I live in Vancouver, Wa just over the bridge from beautiful Portland Or.
