    Welcome to this site. It has been a lifesaver for me. First of all. Your daughters wedding will be such a happy time in her life I bet she wont even be thinking of your weight. Not to be mean but you will probably be one of the last thoughts in her mind on that day. I have only been here for 3 weeks now and I am so glad I found it. There is people on here who will teach you how to eat better. Just take their advice and if you need to just change one thing at a time then so be it. Just go at your own pace. Not only will you eventually lose weight but you will be healthier and if you change your lifestyle then you will be able to keep it off. I have a ton of weight to lose and I am going to do it.

    awe so nice to see mother and daughter on here :)

    Welcome, Diana! We're so glad to have you here. And trust me, your daughter is never going to be ashamed of you. If she's like me, she's suggested the site to you (like I have done with my mom) in hopes to find something to share and help get us BOTH in shape to live the healthiest and longest lives we can because I know that's what we both want :)

    You'll love it here, everyone is so supportive and motivational. And we're all here to help! :heart:

    Take a look at my quote here at the bottom of my signature.... it is very true! People worry alot more about themselves than other people's weight! My mother is not a tiny lady... unfortunately a very slow metabolism runs in the family.... and I would never be ashamed of her!! I am getting married next week and never has the thought crossed my mind... "what are people going to think of my mother??" she loves you no matter what... always just wants you to be healthy and happy... just as you think of her! Good luck to you.. I have been on the site for a few months... 15lbs down.... everyone here is very supportive... this is a judgment free zone! :)

    Hi Meg,

    Try to break down your weight loss into realistic timeframes and segments. Lose 10 lbs the first month, etch...We all know it gets harder as you reach your goal...but you can do it.

    You will definitely lose weight just by the fact that you have to write and record everything. It takes a little work, but you'll get it. Your daughter is beautiful person inside/out...so you've done a great job! I understand that you want to look your best for the wedding...but centering everything on that day may not be the right approach. You want to make sure you ENJOY that day. So begin by promising to just do your utmost best and whatever weight you are that day...so be it!

    You are on a new road to health and fitness for life!

    Good Luck and Congratulations for taking the first step!

    Welcome! I wish you all the strength you need to see the changes in your life that need to be made. It's hard work, but the rewards are worth it. Remember nobody is perfect and we all mess up sometimes (or lots of times) but the trick is to get right back up after a fall or a misstep. Just keep doing what needs to be done and your life will change.
    Good luck!

    Today is my first day on the site and I already love it. My daughter who is in the Air Force told me about this site. She is also getting married next July and I want to look good for her pictures, but more importantly, I want to be around to enjoy her children when she has them. I am looking forward to feeling better and having alot more energy. I pray that Our Lord gives me the strength and courage to stay on my healthy eating plan. I want this very badly.

    Welcome, Diana! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    Do I understand correctly that you and your daughter completed a 6 MILE HIKE this past weekend????:noway: WOW!!! That's fantastic!:happy:

    I think it's fabulous that you two are doing this together. Very cool:heart:

    I only just joined on Tuesday. I had a rough 1st day...went way over my calories and almost said forget this:sad: , but on Wednesday I decided one day was not much of a committment and :cry: So What:ohwell: that I messed up.

    Yesterday, I did manage to stay in my calorie count AND I went for a walk with my dog. *pats self on back*:blushing: I'll stick it for one month. If I try to think past that, I get overwhelmed and discouraged, so one month it is.

    You CAN do this! :flowerforyou: :wink: :flowerforyou: :wink: :flowerforyou:
