Hey all! My name is Tina. I'm 49 (ouch) years old. I live with my husband,
Bill, in a small town in Arkansas. We have two children, grown now, and out
on their own. One grandchild, age 6 years. Oh, almost forgot....we are owned
by a cat named "Pepper". He is the master of the household, lol.

I work full time as a legal assistant....have been in this field for 20 + years
(Gee, I should've been an attorney!). I love my job even though it's stressful
at times. I am also a WW leader, going on my third year, and I sell Avon.
Have to keep busy, lol.

I have joined WW 3 times in my life, and the last time I decided this was it. I was miserable feeling tired, and not being able to play with my grandson. I decided then that this would become my new lifestyle. I lost 45 lbs. on the 123 point system and have kept it off for over 3 years. Once I became a lifetime member, I was approached about being a WW leader. Let me tell you, I had never been able to get up in front of people and talk about anything without my face turning beet red and stammering. Well, this has been different. Because
I believe so much in the WW program, and have been there, it's like I'm talking to old friends.

Being a leader has inspired me and kept me motivated to stay with my lifestyle changes. I actually get tears in my eyes when one of my members makes lifetime!!! (yes, I'm very sentimental), lol. Usually I am shy around people, but you start talking weight loss, and watch out, I'll convince you that the WW program is the only way to go!!!

My hobbies are reading, gardening, fishing (when we have the time), and getting online with my "buds".
