Hi, my name is April and I will turn 50 in April. I am heavier than I have ever been and I know I need to loose weight. My 70 year mother looks better in my clothes than I do. I am a teacher, a mother, a wife and I am exhausted. Help.

    Welcome April! I'm trying to lose weight too! I think having accountability friends on here helps! I'm a teacher as well. of 2.5/3 year olds. I sent you a friend request.
    I'm truly watching what I eat. Prepping meals on Sundays, and not buying junk food. I have found that logging the food for the day helps me stay on track.

    Hi! I'm Lisa. I lost 85 pounds 3 years ago. Gained 50 of it back. Most of the weight I lost previously was because I was in an active job. Now that I am not in an active job, and have a job that is more stressful, I have started to gain the weight back quickly. I know I need to make big changes to the way I eat, that's why I decided to get back to journaling.
