My first goal is to lose 60lbs over the next year

As far back as I can remember I have struggled with my weight. I have 4 other siblings and out of the 5 of us I was the 'big boned' child. I have no desire to be 'model thin' but do want to be at a healthy weight for my height of 5' 91/2". With a family history of diabetes it is crucial for me to get the weight off. I have found out I am going to be a grandmother and want to be around to enjoy it :-)!
