Hi my name is Krista. I lost about seventy pounds five years ago. Twenty were with my fitness pal. I kept it off for about three years. Almost two years ago I decided that working full time, going to school full time and taking care of a family with multiple special needs was a great idea. I was wrong about the great idea part somehow I made it through, but not without gaining back a lot of weight . I graduated almost a year ago and have been going through a ton of stress in my family life plus dealing with chronic achilles Tendonitis which makes exercising difficult at times. Also I am now 44 so that does not help. I want to lose between 50-60 pounds. Looking for encouragement.

    Hi Krista, welcome back. I am in a slightly similar situation in that I lost 63lbs, mostly here and then went on to gain it back, so I'm in the same boat - although I am a childfree student. If you'd like to add me so we can encourage each other feel free.
