Hi,

This is new to me and I'm so happy I found this site.. I've always had a hard time keeping up with a written food journal, but it's so nice to have it all electronic.. love it!

I'm a mother of three and a grandmother of four.. I lost my youngest child and only daughter in a car accident one week after her high school graduation. I was devastated and went on medicine to numb the pain, numb the pain it did, but also came alot of weight gain.

As I saw it, I had two choices I could quit living and become a recluse and hide under my covers or I could live and enjoy life, get healthy and strong for my boys and grandkids. I decided on the latter.
I still have hard days and will, until we're together again but I choose to live life to the fullest and take my daughter with me every step of the way.

I lost alot of my weight before I found this site so I'm at a maintenance level but am so excited to learn new things and make new friends.

    Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside :laugh: .
    Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy :smooched: .
