Rural Illinois Mom

FultsMom

My name is Monica & I live in a rural area about an hour from St. Louis. I work full time & have two college going boys. They nor my husband are big eaters and especially don't like vegetables.
I joined MyFitnessPal several years ago but my weight seems to be going up instead of down.
I've noticed that there are lots of food related commercials on TV so I'm going to try and not watch for the month of September. I watched recipe rehab on the Internet and there were commercials for Applebee's showing their burgers. I'm going to try and make some lower calorie recipes that taste great.
Looking forward to meeting similar Moms.

Hi Monica - I am a mom in Southern IL. My kids are grown, and now I have grand kids. Would love to buddy up and get that scale going in the right direction together!

I'm from Southern IL (Union county). My son is 23 and my daughter is 9. I'm new to the forums of MFP. Definitely could use more supportive friends in losing about 60 pounds.

Welcome to the boards

Ah, every time I walk to my gym - I have to pass several of my favourite restaurants and I can smell the food cooking! I practically salivate on the way there! Unfortunately, I can't even take another route so I've just had to dig deep and keep my willpower in check! It's the same with the adverts - dig deep and remember why you're doing this! Wishing the best of luck! You can do this!
