Hello, my name is Clarissa and I just started MFP. I am 38, mother of 14 (4 birth, 8 inherited, 2 adopted) and weigh 180 pounds. I really want to get back to my weight of 150. I have dedicated my life to everything else but now since the kids are no longer babies (youngest 16 this year) and close to 18 I want to get back to me. You know being my best self (mentally and physically). My husband has always been very physically fit and extremely happy I decided to make a commitment to becoming healthy. I have used other fitness tracking devices and I have had successful losing weight. Becoming bored and gaining it all back. I looking for more of a connection with people. A true supportive group.

Hi Clarissa!! Welcome to the group - feel free to re-post your introduction in the "INTRODUCTIONS" section of the group, here: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10795996/introductions#latest
Wow, that's a lot of children! I can imagine how much dedication that requires!! Being your best self will really show your large family how much you care about them.
Boredom is also my enemy (I boredom eat above all else)!! I think it will be key for us to a) keep active to prevent boredom, and b) notice when we become bored, and be able to sit with that feeling without it leading to an unhealthy choice.
As they say, "fail to plan, and you plan to fail".0
