63 YO, just recently retired and live in Madison, WI. My husband and I have grandchildren on both coasts and in between, but none in WI. The grands are the best part of getting old. Love them to death.

I had always been able to manage my weight quite easily until I after I had my third child. It's been a struggle ever since. After menopause it's been even harder. I've been on a number of successfuI diets in my lifetime. from 142#s to 117, from 170 to 135, and four years ago from 198 to 126. I started the Dukan diet at 178.5#s. Obviously, I love carbs.

My passionate hobby is genealogy, but I also geocache (see geocaching.com) with my husband, and like to travel. I am an active member of our Lutheran church, belong to Red Hat Society, voted for Obama. Love to garden and right now am very much looking forward to warm weather so I can begin working in our flower gardens. I'm also thinking about taking up golf again.
