Middle Aged Woman Looking For Friends and Support!

busymamasplace

Hello. I'm just starting this journey and would love some friends to help keep me motivated. I'm 5'4", will be 47 in October, and weighed in at 190 lbs this morning. I started gaining weight after my hysterectomy in 2010 and after going on antidepressants. I've been feeling so down on myself and I'm hoping to make some changes. The last straw was when my sister-in-law referred to me as a "beached whale" this past weekend. Although it hurt my feelings, I didn't let on that it bothered me at all. Anyway, hoping to make some new friends and lots of progress. Take Care!

Sent you a message! I’m jumping back on the train again too, after a year or so of hiatus. We are all in this together, let’s get healthier. 🙂

I’m new too. I’m at my heaviest and have been really down in the dumps. I know we can do it with support.

Hello, welcome. It is a struggle. That was a mean thing for your sister in law to say! I gained 30 pounds after taking cymbalta for pain. I quit taking it and with my fitness pal I lost 43 pounds in 8 months. It has been a year now and I have gained back 10. It is such a struggle. So I am back logging my food before it creeps up again! You can do it. Hit me up anytime if you need to talk.
