Live the Way You Wish To Be!


I am 44 years old. I've battled my weight since my teen years and became obese when I got pregnant at 28. My goal is to lose weight and get in shape. I need to establish and maintain a regular exercise routine, cut out junk food, and lower my daily calories. My current mantra is "keep it simple."

    Hello how are you doing?
    I am doing fine. Just wanted to say hi.
    Saw you were also on the Friendly Persuasion Group.
    Do you need a buddy? I would love to be yours if so.
    (I need one to keep me accountable).
    Tend to mindlessly snack when I am not careful.
    Hope that you are well. Holly emoticon

    It's so nice to see you! I'm still living my good-enough life with food, though it's actually even better now. I've recently had some health concerns that have focused me rather interestingly. I'm doing things I would have whined and complained about a few years ago very willingly; it's SUCH an inside job! I don't think I could have done them to lose weight, but I have lost some more. But I don't think a person can will herself to be at any particular place. People ask me what I'm doing: I say it won't make a difference if you don't get a foundation first. You know what my foundation is.

    TGIF!
