Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm so happy to have finally decided to change my lifestyle and be good to my self for my own sake and for my kids. I am 35 with 4 kids and and as a breadwinner, I forgot to take care of myself and gained a huge weight. I want to become fit and healthy so I can live long enough to see my kids grow and be successful. I hope I can get some support, kindness and love from you guys all through out this journey. Have a wonderful life everyone!

Welcome! Sounds like you have the 'why' figured out, so that's a good start.
We all have our own personal challenges (emotional eating, too much fast food, not enough movement,...) so I'm wishing you success finding your own way to weight-loss and increased confidence!
If you have questions, we're certainly willing to help 🙂0
