A Birthday Gift to Me...

Well, Here I am.

My daughter has been asking me to join for months. It's my 44th birthday today. What better gift can I give myself, but good health.

I have had a weight problem since my early teens. I'm no stranger to dieting. I have had some success, but then find myself weighing more than before.

Hopefully, with the support from this forum, I will reach my goal and stay there.:)
 
welcome welcome.. nice to see you here - and that it's a family event :D glad your daughter talked you into coming..
 
Hi VBMom,

You're right, getting on track with your heath IS the greatest gift you can give yourself and subsequently, your family.

I think you hit some points about regaining the weight after you "diet" which is why I really believe in NOT going on one!

Learning to eat in moderation and understanding portion control goes a long way in letting us eat foods we love and still lose weight - which will be the key to maintenance once we get to where we want to be!

I've found that when I post often to my diary and stay connected here - then I eat/do better in real life. So stay connected, post often, and I look forward to getting to know you :D
 
I was wondering who's mom she was... you've got an absolutely wonderful daughter... she's a terrific young woman.. you've done a great job raising her :D
 
Wow! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.:D

Since my first post, I actually gained a pound, but it WAS my birthday.

And yes, I do have a wonderful daughter who really wants her mom to get healthier. Besides losing weight, my goal is to be able to play volleyball with both my girls.

I will try my best to update often. Thanks again!
 
heehee.. maybe then, besides being "The VonBayne family singers" We'll be the "VonBayne family volleyball players" :D
