40+ mom who works

Would love to have motivational partners. Today is my first day trying to get back in the groove. Just got off the treadmill and just finished logging in here. Over the past 3 years, I have steadily gained 45 pounds. I lose 10 and gain 12. Need all the advice & encouragement I can get. I spend more time on work and my kids than myself and it is taking it's toll on me with stress, weight gain, insomnia, & backaches with decreased energy. I do not feel or look like myself. Hoping for permanent life changes one by one. I welcome anyone, but thought that others like myself could help each other.

    I think there is an Over 40 Group here. There are definitely Mom groups.

    I am 40+, working mom, with about 45 lbs to lose. Just started back seriously 3 weeks ago. Weighing in on Wednesdays... Today down about 2.8 from 3 weeks ago.
