Hi, I'm a mother of 6 and grany to 2 (children's ages 23-3 grandchilren 2 and 1 ). I love my family and cherish them. I also just realized that I don't have any pictures of myself alone ( do to shame of weight ). My epipheny came to me how much I had gained when I saw myself in a family picture at a amusement park. I had thought I was pretty cute until I saw the photo.The weight had slipped up on me after my hysterectomy. I had gone to the health club got a personal trainer and went on a very strick diet. I was doing yoga in the morning and at night in addition to 3 - 30min fast walks on the tread mill and daily personal training including weight training. I had lost 20 lbs plateaued then started gaining slowly. I was heart broken and after 2 years I gave up. Now I want something better for me and my family ( I'm lucky my husband and children fully support me in this decision). My hope is to find a positive  support group here at VST.
