(JCH1701)
I am 48, married 26 years to a church history professor at Southeastern Seminary and have one teenage son. For my son's birthday last year our family adopted a rescue league golden retriever named Walter. I'm originally from Lexington, KY but have lived in Indiana, Mississippi and now in Wake Forest since 1996. I've worked as a secretary since high school and in my free time I enjoy collecting Hallmark, recipes, painting plastercraft, playing board games, bowling (not as often as I like) and exercising (more often than I like). I also am a huge fan of science fiction--I love watching shows like Star Trek, Babylon 5, Star Wars, Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.
After yo-yo dieting for years and needing to lower my cholesterol, I re-joined WW for the third time in February, 2001 with the doctor's advice of "just try it 3 months." The points system fit into my lifestyle so well that I was able to stick with it and successfully reached goal in September, 2002 and lifetime status in November, 2002, losing over 60 pounds.
