in Getting Started
Been on before and back again. Been 23 days now and back on MFP for 18 days. I'm a Mom of 3 - 5, 10 and 13, work full time and well you know how it goes. Looking to connect with more for support. I'm here to help and willing to give it. Join me on my journey and I'll join you on yours. I'm doing this for myself and no one else. I've got 50lbs to go and I'm down 6.4 as of today. Look forward to this year! Let the <3 begin!

    43 in March and looking to lose about 50 lbs. I am tracking things here but, starting a juice reboot on Sunday the 25. I have one daughter 22 and a step-son 18. I am a homemaker with my primary caregiver duties focused on the pets (two cats, a dog and a turtle). I would love some mutual support from like minded people. =)

    I'm 44, lost 102 lbs two years ago, and gained back 30. I'm trying to lose 50 lbs this time. I have a son who's 24 and am now raising my 4 year old niece. Add me if you want.

    You both can do it!! Do it for yourself... That's my conclusion and the rest will come naturally. Their is a lot of support here as I have found on my short journey so far. Look forward to connecting!

    Hi there. 44 and Mom of 4. Looking to lose 25-30lbs. I'm a nurse and find shift work not all that helpful when it comes to losing weight! Tomorrow will be my first weight in so we'll see how I've done. I'm also not great at eating breakfast so I've been using Isagenix shakes.
    Total newbie question... How do I "add" people? Lol

    I'm 46 (how exactly that happened, I'm not sure!) and have just restarted my weight loss journey. They say it's tougher at our age, but I actually think the opposite is true because I know so much more about health and nutrition than I did 20 or even 10 years ago.
