Well... I am 51 and married. I build saddles and do custom leatherwork. My husband and I got a bit out of control with our weight. Since September 2011 we have lost my mother-in-law, my mentor and one of my best friends, and my grandmother-in-law has moved here and is in a NH about a mile down the road. Due to the changes in our lives, it became increasingly hard to take care of ourselves as we had in the past. I was used to riding horses and exercising daily and working every afternoon. On the weekends we would go to the state park and I would trailride and my husband would hike. It seems like things are settling down now and we are trying to regain control. I haven't started riding again but I am starting to exercise again. The riding and hiking are soon to follow.

We enjoy going to Renfair and highland games. Gotta get ready to wear the costumes! I have a size small corset and a medium size body! I feel better being active and healthy. I know I can do it!!!!
