Hi there. I will be 35 at the end of this month. I was very slim as a teen but gained a bunch of weight when I was 20/21 due to depression. Now, more than 10 years later I am still trying to take off the weight. I have become more active but It's mainly on the weekends and I have a desk job so losing weight is a slow process. I'm starting out with some whey protein drink mix and fruit and veggie shakes for my breakfast because I'm usually rushing out the door and not very hungry. I work evening shift so i generally have my lunch around dinner and then dinner when I come home from work after 11pm, It's just how it is and I normally stay up well past 3-4 am so it's not like I am going to bed right after eating but I do know this is not a completely healthy way to go but it's what I'm working with right now. I would love to find some people on here where we can encourage each other to stick with it.

Welcome!

    Hi there! Please feel free to add me! I'd love to gain a new friend and try to help motivate you! I'm in my 30s as well and was once quite the skinny mini...way back when.

  • Hi everyone =) Thank you
    I used to work as a nursing assistant but no more due to a back injury. I now work at a call center full time and I am a part time massage therapist.
    Congrats on all who have been losing - Miss Eleanor with 32 lbs - that is wonderful! I just set my ticker thingy up and as of a weigh in today at the dr's I lost 3 lbs.
