Hi, I'm 54, married with 3 adult children, one of which lives at home while getting her master's degree. I've got an awesome service dog, Kubota, and a retired one Dixie. I was forced into retirement from nursing after a stroke from a migraine in 2006.

I've just started to be able to really be concerned with what I am wearing after losing 120 lbs. I still have more to lose but I am now coaching others to lose weight like I did on Take Shape For Life.

I found a great way to try all kinds of fashions through a rental site called Gwynnie Bee; so instead of spending an arm and leg on things, I try them keep for a while and send back, just send back, or buy. It is like getting clothing at an upscale consignment shop.

So basically, since I am finally getting healthier, I am trying to figure out a style of clothing that is right for me when I stop shrinking down to size.
