Need accountability and support. I've had enough!

Hi All!
My name is Barb. I am 49 years old and lost 70 lbs about 3 years ago. I was so determined to keep it off because I maintained a good diet and exercise routine for 2 years. A year ago I finally ended a 30 year marriage that should have ended way sooner...which was my motivation for being healthy and fit. The past year though...even though I have been a regular at the gym still (somewhat) I have been enjoying life a little too much when it comes to eating and drinking and the weight is creeping up. I actually had to buy clothes up a size...something I swore I would never do. So here I am....up 30 lbs again and I am determined to get it back down and learning to live a balanced life. Looking forward to making friends here....Let's do this!!

Hi, do you mind if I join? Not quite sure how this message thread thing works yet but I have 3 stone to lose in 7 months and I am a bit clueless as to how to do it. Any tips greatly appreciated. Thanks Jo

I agree with bellabella1983, you don't look anywhere near 49! I don't know if this is a ladies only party but I'd love to offer my support and encouragement. That is if you don't mind a Y chromosome in the mix.
