Hi, my name is Chelle and I am a 38 year old wife and a mom to a 10 year old :) I started using myfitness pal a few weeks ago but was a little shy about posting and introducing myself. For people that know me, they would never think I am shy but when it comes to my weight that's another story. I used to be very active before I had my baby but ..... for the last 10 years I never made time for myself. So here I am, trying to get me back to the way I used to feel. I know it won't be easy. It is always much easier to go home from work and get caught up into my family life, just like it is for so many people. I don't like to cook so that is going to be a challenge, so all easy suggestions are more than welcome. Then there is trying to get myself to the gym...... OMG. But I know a happier me on the inside is going to make a happier everyone around me so I am going to give it my all and see where it takes me.

    hey! I know what you mean. It's hard getting ME back when you have family life to get to. I am just starting out as well and cooking is not my best friend. I am starting off slow for me. I think once you can break a bad habit one at a time then it will stick. My biggest thing is cokes and mountain dew. So I have challanged myself to only drink one coke a day and rest water. Some days are good, some bad. But I am not getting the blinding headaches anymore when I first started this. Anyways, I love this site, I hope that you find where you want to go and be with this site and helpful people. I am not much help in what to eat, what to excercise. But I am here with you about getting me back.

    Finding "me" is partly what its about. Once you find "you", you will be amazed how much more time you have for everyone else. Good luck .

    Love your post because this is how I describe my "journey" with weight loss now too. Trying to get back to ME! I am 45 and both of my children are now in college so I decided it was time to remember who I was before life became so hectic with active teenagers. It is hard to make myself a priority but I am learning how slowly but surely.
