Starting Over...

Hello Everyone,
I am 43 and married (25 years) with two kids (20 and 22). I am so tired of being overweight and not feeling healthy. In the past 7 months I have gained over 30 lbs and need to lose a total of 50 lbs. I am turning to MFP for support and accountability. Tracking my food really does help me and makes me think twice about my calories. I will also be starting Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred tomorrow. Not too sure what kind of diet I want to follow but thinking of eating more veggies and fruits with less bread and sweets.
Looking for supportive MFP friends...

Hi! feel free to add me...I'm 41 and need to lose about the same amount. My weight has been a struggle for me my whole life.
I'm looking for support and motivation as well! I started last week eating more fruits and veggies and less breads and treats. Hoping to start some sort of exercise this week, other than walking our dog who moves at a turtles pace.
