New and not new

Good afternoon!

I started my weightloss journey almost exactly a year ago and last year managed to lose almost twenty pounds. My husband lost his job back in the summer and the hard financial times and amazing amounts of stress helped me to gain it all back in just a few short months so here I am, recommitting and I'm going to a need a killer support system to stay strong and power through this. It's discouraging knowing despite all my efforts last year I weigh more this year than I did then so I need people who are active on here to befriend. I have a few very active people on my friends list but over the course of the year many have fallen off as I did. I'm looking to lose 80 pounds and it's gonna take a lot of support so please join me on this journey, looking forward to supporting all of you too!

Feel free to add me as well! I also know first hand how stress can make you gain weight! Now I'm really, really , really trying to lose 60+ pounds.

Thank you! It's interesting, a lot of people on here are trying to lose just 10 pounds, to 100's which is encouraging. I myself am aiming for 80ish.
