I am a 41 yr old female, divorced, with a 15 year old son.  We enjoy going to movies, playing putt-putt golf, and going on trips.  I am about 70 pounds overweight, but am working on it.  I am also planning to quit smoking within a couple of months, after 12 years of smoking (I had a late teen rebellion or early mid-life crisis!)

I am a Registered Nurse with a background in cardiology.  I am currently working in Risk Management for the hospital.

I hate dieting and exercise, but have resigned myself to the fact that for my health, they need to be a part of my everyday routine.  It has been difficult, but I have lost 14 pounds (at least until this weekend, when I faltered) since January 1.
