I'm Really Losin' It!
 

Hello everyone. Trying to adopt a healthier lifestyle is old hat for me, unfortunately, but a recent medical checkup made me determined to try again. I have great resolve...on Day Two...which is the easy part, of course, but I'm determined to make it work. I want to lose 68lbs along with introducing some regular walking and stress-reducing yoga. I've been here, done that, had the t-shirt and lost it. You know, that yo-yo syndrome. :) I look forward to reading your stories and sharing in your successes during this journey!

Oh, I'm 52 years old, live in Nova Scotia, Canada; have two grown daughters and a beautiful 1-yr-old grandson; I'm a writer/photographer and retired-by-injury Paramedic.

Hi & :welcome: Best of luck to you!

Hi and :wel3fc:

Keep reading and posting - this place is incredible for support, motivation, and new ideas.

Can't wait to hear more from you!

hello my fellow Canadian! We can do it!!!

Hi miles2go,
Just wanted to welcome you, and to say good luck! I noticed we have so much in common that I just had to post to you.

I too have had the yo-yo syndrome my whole life... lose, gain, lose, gain etc. It sounds like we're both sick of it.

I'm originially from Canada (Alberta) and I have 2 grown daughters as well! Along with a grown son, and 3 precious grandchildren. My oldest daughter lives in NS, and just loves it there. I left Canada almost 11 years ago, but just love it where I am now. I went to visit her in Halifax in January (when she had a baby) and thought it was the prettiest area. I had lived in Ontario and Alberta my whole life and had never been to NS.

I'll be 50 in the new year, and really need to make some changes for myself. I need to lose this weight for my health. I know I'll do it this time, but it sure makes it easier when we have buddies to encourage us.

Talk to you soon! I'm on my way to work!

:wel3fc: and heres to much success :carrot:
