My name is Joan and I've lost 100 pounds.

I’m not on a diet. I don’t count calories. Diets don’t work, I’ve tried them all and if your counting calories your thinking about food all of the time. (what can I have for my next meal, etc.)                     


I am starting this blog for 2 reasons. The selfish one is that by writing and reliving my journey I can stay on track. I still have a lot of weight to lose. The second one is that I really want to help others who are trying to lose weight. I know there are many people out there like me. I want to tell you my story so that you can learn from me and maybe you can be inspired to lose weight, too.

Just to be up front, this blog is sponsored by the Mercy HealthPlex in Cincinnati, OH. But you don’t have to go to the Mercy HealthPlex to lose weight. You can do it any where. Just do it.

I’m not any different than anyone else. I’m 66 yrs. young. I have been married for 47 yrs. I have two boys that are married and I have three grand children.

When I turned 60 everything seemed like it just fell apart.

In the past six years I not only lost my mom but I lost my younger sister, my father and my niece and I didn’t want to be next. I weighted 340lbs. or more and I needed to do something quick.

This isn’t a short story. This is just the beginning. I have so much to say about my journey. I look forward to sharing. Please comment or ask questions. The great part about the Mercy HealthPlex sponsorship is that if you have questions that I can’t answer I can get an expert to help you.

I’m still losing weight. Do you want to join me?
