About

My name is Maxine. I am a  retired  Clinical Psychologist. When I was 19 years old I weighed 99 lbs and wished I could lose some weight.  When I was 29 years old I weighed 125 lbs and wished I could lose the lbs gained with my two pregnancies.  Over the years my weight has gone up and down, but now that I am over 60 years old, I have come to realize a horrifying reality — the older I get the more I need to stay fit and healthy. When I exercise, eat right, and have a trim body I feel more energetic and happier. Yet, the older I get the more difficult it seems to be to stay on track.  So I am undertaking this challenge to lose 20 lbs.  I know it will be a struggle. Check this blog to see how I am doing.
