Hello everyone, my name is Jess, I am a 31 year old mother of 3 beautiful kids. I am here to learn how to change my lifestyle, and lose weight along the way. I have gained and lost over the years but I am to a point now that i don't recognize myself i am uncomfortable in my own skin and i generally hate the body that i live in right now. I want to be healthy, i want to be around for my kids, grand kids etc. etc. but above all and maybe a little selfishly i want to look in the mirror and be happy with what i see, be happy with "me". If I get to the point that i love myself even half as much as i love my kids and my fiance I will be ok. I just want to be the old Jess again. Please feel free to message me or add as a friend, for i thin it is so much easier to do this together. :wink:

    Welcome Jess!! Your story sounds so similar to mine. MFP has been a huge support group for me on my journey, and while I still have a long way to go, everyone here helps you to see that it is going to happen. You can do it!!
