Ready to be happy again

Hello I am a 34 year old mom of 3. Lately I haven’t been happy with my weight and after going to the doctor today it’s definitely time to do something about it. I am starting something different this time around. Today I started my calorie deficit, something I have never done before. I’m hoping to lose about 40 to 50 lbs. I’ve lost weight before. I cut carbs completely out and ended up gaining back all the weight. I have been so depressed about my weight and I just want to be happier. I don’t have a support system so I joined this app to get advice and motivation. Happy to be here 🙂

Welcome!
Well, as you experienced yourself, it's all about making changes that you can keep up long-term good news, you already figured out one strategy doesn't work for you (cutting carbs)!
Try to focus on gradual, small changes rather than overhauling your life (diet/exercise) in one go, focusing on changes you'll be able to stick to long-term: not just to lose the weight, but to keep it off afterwards.2 -

Welcome!
I’m 35 mom of 4! I felt like you were writing my story for me! My support system is also very very limited and even that may not count as super. But, I’m hoping being here will find me more people like you who are in the save journey!1 -
Hi, I'm 38, mom of 2! I started here pre-kids and was really into weight lifting. But after kids, it all fell to the wayside, so I'm starting here too! I'm also looking for new friends to help keep the motivation going!!0
