How do I join??

[DISNEYFANRI]

Hi everyone - I'm Paula - turned 45 this year (and really hating it) - have DH of 23 yrs this year - DD 16 and DS14. I guess you could say I am a victim of those dreded extra winter 10-15 - lets just say the shorts don't fit quite as well as last year.lbs. I am definitely a stress/boredom eater and hate to exercise. But...vowing to try again - start slowly...eat healthier - looking forward to all of your thoughts and support.

Hi Paula! Welcome to WISH (We're Inspired to Stay Healthy). You joined and you didn't even know it! There is nothing special you have to do to join. If you want the wish clipart there is a thread at the top of the WISH board that gives you instructions. I just turned 41, and I am starting to hate the birthday's in my 40's too! But, I figure if I am going to be in my 40's, I might as well be the best I can be! WISH is helping me with that. I think you will find that everyone here at WISH is supportive and there is lots of wonderful advice! I think starting slowly is a good idea. Maybe decide one thing you would like to change (increasing water intake, adding exercise a couple of days per wekk, or whatever). I am looking forward to having you as part of my support group!

Hi! I remember when I was 45. That was almost 10 years ago. Where does the time go? I loved being 45. It was a great year.

I'm glad you decided to join us. You can add the member clipart to your signature if you choose. There is a great post telling you how to do that right <b>HERE</b>.

You're going to like it here. WISH is a friendly and helpful place. Reading and posting on WISH has kept me motivated and on track. I'll bet you see the same benefits

Welcome Paula! Glad to have you as part of WISH!

I, too, am turning 45 this year. I have a DS who will be 16 too soon and a DD, who is 14. I wish I only had 10-15 lbs. to lose!!!

Glad you are here! The more the merrier!!!

Hello and welcome, Paula! You've got the right attitude!!! The best way to begin is to start slowly and eat healthier. I don't know how it happens, but that winter weight can sure creep up on you (I know I gained about 10+ pounds last winter, yikes, just ate my way from Thanksgiving to New Years!)

This is the perfect place to be for support and encouragement. Why, I'd even bet that in a few months you will report back to say how much you enjoy exercising! YUP!!!

Hope to see you posting often!

WELCOME! I'm sure with WISH and the great support here and some hard work you can get those winter pounds right back off and keep them off for next winter!
