Bio

I am 55 years old and have struggled most of my life with weight issues. To be honest, when I look back at photos of me as a child, I don't really look overweight, but I was told that I was overwieght and "if I would just lose a few pounds"... you know the rest.

Now, as an adult, I suffer with that image and, for some reason, can't shake living it everyday.

Last year I had uterine cancer. I am determined to try harder to work this out. The Transformation Nation program is my next step!

Last year I started a website, TheObesityProject.com, in an effort to then conquer my issue. It didn't work then, but I'm willing to "pick myself up, dut myself off, and start all over again! Visit the website if you have a chance. I hope to not just help myself, but maybe to help others with the same or similar issues.

PS There's also a Facebook page for your comments and sharing. I'd love to hear from you! You can view my "pants" video - something everyone can relate to FOR SURE!

    Hi Marsha, How are you doing this Saturday morning? I hope you are feeling well and able to stay on track with this weight loss quest. So many temptations this time of year with the upcoming holidays. I joined Weigh Watchers and during an upcoming meeting, we will discuss how to survive Thanksgiving without jumping ship. I can't wait to attend this meeting and find out how to get thru this holiday of feasting. I am truly grateful my family will be able to have food on the table since so many are doing with out. Waiting for a phone call from my local food bank to see when I can help out. I am so trying to keep my mind and hands busy. Hope the scale is your friend this week. Thanks for your time Marsha. Hope to hear from you.

    Thanks Marsha I had a terrific day, read my blog. I never had a problem with fast eating always last one to finish. Of course this would lead to one long meal sometimes, you know breakfastlunchdinner! Have a good one!

    Hi Marsha, Thanks for the compliment on my Duncan. He is a very special friend. As for my journey, I have joined Weight Watchers and down 4.8 pounds. The pounds do not come off as quickly as in my 30's. I love the Points Plus Program and it is so easy. Glad to hear you have a goal in mind! I want my bloodwork to be a better read in April. I will be thinking about you and wish you all the best. Please keep me posted!
