Hi all. I've been peeking into this site for awhile now but haven't been sure where and when to jump in. Here and now seems like a good bet.
I'm Yvie, I'll be 50 this year, and it feels like I've been meaning to lose 30 lbs forever. I've actually succeeded on and off over the years, but I always seem to end up right back here eventually, glaring at the scale and feeling irked with myself for failing yet again. Apparently I kind of know what to do, but then I lose focus and fall out of the new and healthy routines, and any progress that was made gets quickly unmade. (Funny how that "unmaking" seems to take so much less time and effort than the "making.")
So here I am, hoping that sharing this project with others who know all about it will help to keep me honest - and focused - this time. I started a blog yesterday, which I think will help a lot, and now I need to figure out what to do next. I look forward to being here and getting to know others who are in the same boat.
