Who am I

StacyStroh

Hello - My name is Stacy I'm 39 years old a mom of 2 teenagers, just recently out of a long term relationship - Feeling very lost and lonely - trying to figure out who I am. I have lost weight in the past but I'm finding it very hard to now get moving and keep moving - My life has changed so much over the last year alone that it's just been overwhelming - I'm looking for new friends to help encourage me to keep going on this journey - I have roughly 58 lbs I want to lose and never see again ! I hope I can find some new inspiration . Thank you for reading!

Hi Stacy! I am Sandy. I understand the loneliness at the end of a relationship, although my partner died 4 days before Christmas in 2014...this year is the 10th anniversary of his passing. I lost 50 pounds when we were together but gained back 30 gradually over the last 10 years. After a few failed attempts, I am back for sure and plan to get those 30 pounds off....and maybe a little more.

I hope things are going to plan for you so far. It's hard to get a lot of support here because of the community set up. But I will try to keep in touch here. Have a good day!

Hi Stacy! Dropping by to see how things are going for you.

When I first started here 12 years ago, I had 50 pounds to lose. It hit me when the summer before, I had to buy a new bathing suit and then the following summer I tried to put it on and it was too small. That was it for me. I sat down and cried and realized I couldn't go on like that. I came to MFP and started logging my food and drinking more water and eating right. I made myself low calorie, low carb treats and allowed myself one cheat day a month. Took me 18 months, but I did it. And 6 months later, my partner died. It took 10 years to put 30 pounds back on, but when I saw that scale, that feeling hit me again. And here I am.

I hope you had a good week last week!

Sandy
