Welcome Lorinda

[Guest guest]

Hello! My name is Lorinda. New member here. Just starting WW for, I

believe, my 8th time. (Better to start over than not start at all!)

Just like a bicycle - if you want to ride a bike and you fall off - get

right back on and sooner or later, with time, patience, and practice you

will learn how and will be buzzing along!

This time is definitely different - mother also joined so I have support

system there and, since she is going through same thing at the same

time, eating out and at their home is much easier as we are, in essence,

watching out for each other. Went grocery shopping together, too, which

helped as we gave tips and products each of us tried and liked. Plus,

have to lose weight medically now, so it's not just losing for

appearance sake or dress sizes - it really is a health issue now, as I

have a few health problems and potential risks that make it, basically,

mandatory that I lose weight. This is for LIFE - literally! I believe

knowing what I know now and the support system I have that I will make

my goal in the future, whatever day that is - it's tomorrow and has not

been written for me yet. Today is today and that's what I need to work

on. One day at a time, one step at a time, and yes, even one pound (or

fraction of) at a time!! And as long as I head in the right direction,

that's truly what matters most. WOOHOO!!

Today is my 7th day on plan, so no weigh in being Memorial Day. Will

weigh in next Monday and see what 2 weeks on plan have accomplished!

I'm just trying to surround myself with as many " connections " as I can

to change my way of thinking and help make it " stick " , so I signed up

for some ideas and encouragement along my trip!

Thanks for listening and I hope to meet you along my journey!
