Returning Hopeful

I'm returning to myfitnesspal in hopes that I can use it to loose 50 to get to my ideal weight. I NEED to do this for my health but also as an example to my kids. I'm currently obese and have a hard time with snacking and craving sugar. Weightless doesn't come easy at my age like it did 20 years ago. Wishing myself luck and hoping I find the tools needed to change my life habits.
