New to site but not to weight gain and loss!

I am back on track and have lost 5 pounds but I have a ways to go. I am giving myself a year or as long as it takes to get healthy and lose weight. I must do this for my health. We are older than average parents of young children that we adore and they need us. I would love support and I would like to support others as well. I'm not even sure how this works on this site but will do my best!

    I'm new here! I have 4 kids - the youngest are 13 and 16 and I'm 51. During my mom's illness and then passing and my son's illness, I let my weight get away from me. I'm a stress eater and I love food in general. Need to get down to a healthier weight and stay there!

    I too have children, two of them, 2 and 6. They are two reasons why I push myself so hard.

    New here too! I vow to make this THE year to get myself in shape... I'm not looking to be a fitness model, just want to lose weight, tone up, and be a healthy example for my kiddos!

    Good to see ya fellow "newbies"! :)
