This website was created with the intent of helping individuals and families reach their health and wellness goals. Not only do I want to help people lose weight; I want to help them maintain their weight loss. I want this web site to be a source of knowledge, motivation and inspiration. My hope is that it will assist others in making goals and reaching their dreams. Hopefully it will serve as a means of support and offer tips to reaching long term success.
The vision of this web site first came about in the summer of 2005. At an international convention for my weight loss support group, I was asked to speak at the same convention the following year by a lady that I greatly respect and admire. When doing motivational speaking engagements, I was often asked if I had a web site.
That Christmas, I asked my sister to buy me a book on creating a web site. I found out how little I really knew. Apparently surfing the web doesn't enable you to build a web site anymore than watching Discovery Health makes you a doctor! I thought I'd back up a bit and bought myself a book on creating web pages (as opposed to the whole site) instead. Still no luck! Try as I might, I couldn't understand a thing in either book. It was as if I was reading a book in a foreign language. I guess, in a way, I was!
Fast forward to 2008 .... Again, after many requests, I gave some serious thought to creating a web site. Again! I was laid off from my job for three weeks and decided to devote that time to doing just that. I researched different web hosting companies, tried to select what I thought was the perfect domain name and bought software to help me create the site. I even tried to read those books again! And, once again, I ended up where I was in 2005. Lost! I guess leaving books sitting beside the bed doesn't help you learn anymore than sitting beside a treadmill helps you to lose weight.
I shared with my sister and brother-in-law my desire to create a web site as well as the frustration of not knowing how to despite the research and reading I did. My brother-in-law shared that his aunt created several web sites and he was sure she'd be willing to help me do the same. He called his aunt to prepare her for my call and when I called she was more than willing to assist. This web site is the combination of our efforts. Her skill combined with my willingness to learn resulted in The Five Ds.
