Taking the WISH challege

[PoohLover1]

HELP! I would like to take the WISH Challenge. Thanks nativetxn for the invite. I just joined the DIS board last week. My DH has been a member for a couple of years and I read over his shoulders when I'm around and he told me about this board. Alittle about myself, married to Big V 26 1/2 yrs, DD Elly is II 1/2 and I have been driving school bus for 22 yrs. I have high B.P. and type 2 diabetic, I'm on meds for both. Last Feb. I joined
T.O.P.S. I great support group, you do your own type of diet plan, Atkins, W.W. south beach, etc. You weigh in every week and sometimes get recipes, but just to see what is working. In Oct. I kicked myself in the butt and tried the Atkins and jioned a heath club and in 2 months lost 17#. At the end of last year I was down 26.75#. I was 1st. place winner in my division. Than X-mas hit. And I just can't get back on track. I'm up 9# as of last week. My Dr. and I agreed on 40# and I was so close to be at goal by Memorial Day, now I'm further away. I'm trying to get back on track. I hope the ideas and the support from this board will get me there. Thanks for taking the time to read this reply cause I know it's a bit long and I'm off to the club.

Welcome to WISH!!

All of us are in the same boat here.... we all need a kick in the behind every so often.
Don't get discouraged- just make up your mind that your next bite of food will be a healthy (according to your eating plan) bite.

You CAN do this!!!
