Size 20 teacher and mom of three who wants to be healthy

I am 44, currently size 20 and been doubting whether or not I am capable of losing weight without some sort of intervention. Seeing cbeevs post (and the people who responded to it) gave me such a feeling of hope. I'm a teacher and a mother of 3(20, 16, 10) and I want to be around for my kids. The last time I weighed myself I was about 230. I don't want to weigh myself anymore, either. My daughter and I took our measurements at the beginning of the year (sigh), and I was hoping that by now I would have made some progress. Nope. But, I'm not quitting. Anyway, everyone's responses to cbeevs helped me feel hopeful. :smile:

    Don't give up, large changes can be achieved through small steps. Just start making concrete changes in your life that you can live with, and this will snowball on its own. I have gone from 238 to 205 in 6 months with very minor changes to my lifestyle and minimal increase in exercise. More than happy to help support you if you would like :)
