I am 47 yrs old, married and have 3 children ages 16, 18 & 21.  My home state is Ohio, but we moved to the Tampa area 5 years ago.  I am a YoYo Dieter and have been since childhood.  I weigh 144 and am 5 feet tall.  I am tired of finding clothes to fit my body, for once I would like to walk in a store and be a perfect 10 or even better an 8.  When I gain weight I gain it all over and being short it looks like I weigh more then I really do.  I also have high Cholesterol and would like to see if diet and exercise will change that.  So far I have been exercising at the YMC about 3 times a week for the past 2 weeks, and instead I have gained 2 pounds.  I do journal since I found this site and it has inspired me.  I'm still trying to find the right combination of diet and exercise for me.

Thanks- Looking for support and friendship
