New to the site
Hello everyone,
I ran across this site yesterday, and was reading a blog from “Dawn”. She truely inspired me to join this, and get started on changing my way of eating TODAY, instead of 1/1/08. I have a New Years EAT Party, or is that Eve, haha to go to Monday, and they always have TONS of food there, so I am going to try my hardest to eat healthy!!
My name is Jill, 48 yrs. young:), and from Ohio. I have been married 4 years to a wonderful man, and have 2 boys. Adam is 28, and Elijah is 17. We have an 8 yr.old Siberian Husky, Taz, and a 4 month old calico cat, Jaide(therefor my name on the blog) :)On 10/3/07 I had to put down my 18 year old cat Sampson. Hardest thing I have ever been thru.
I have been heavy all of my life until about 5 years ago, I was at my lowest of 168. Apparently, even tho I am 5′5″, around 170-175 is my ideal weight. I had people telling me that I was getting too thin! Imagine that! I had NEVER heard those words in my life! I felt absolutely wonderful at that weight as well.
I have a really hard time getting 3 meals in. Why??? I have no idea. I stay busy during the day, and don’t even think about food, but come supper time, I eat, and then have a horrible time snacking in the evening, which I know is the worst time!! I also need to start drinking more water. I am a diet dew drinker, and need to cut back on that.
I had a fall about 4 1/2 years ago, and have had numerous surgeries since then, along with other medical problems. Because of this, my exercising almost came to a complete stop. I have tried numerous equiptment, and have finally found that I can use the exercise ball. During the summer I also exercise in our pool. Would be quite chilly now tho! 
Anyway, enough rambling on, I just think this is a great site, and really enjoy reading the blogs on here. They give you inspiration! I am hoping to meet some wonderful friends on here. Take care, Jill

GREAT! You have started NOW. Tomorrow never comes, right? I know you can do this and have fun along the way. Great buddies on here. I am just a little older then you (ha) and thought I couldn’t lose the pounds I gained since the loss of my beloved, but these buddies pulled me through my trials and never lost faith in me. They will do the same for you. Marge
