Los Angeles Area Mom

KXanthos

I am a 41 year old divorced (well divorcing anyway, it seems to take forever!) mother of two from the Los Angeles area. I have struggeled with my weight for the last 12-15 years or so...ever since I got a desk job basically. I have lost weight several times doiing low carb diets, but I always seem to gain it back because low carb doesn't give you the educational tools you need to keep it off. I started using MyFitnessPal on October 19th and have already lost almost 10 pounds. I'm finding it extremely educational! I can't believe how much I used to take in calorie wise and am often shocked at the calorie counts on restaurant foods that I've looked up. The education I am now receieving is giving me the tools I need to make smarter choices and this, I think, will make all the difference in keeping it off! I have no aspirations to have a "perfect" body - by societies definition (who is "society" to tell me whats perfect anyway!). I just want to be healthy and be the best me I can be so I will be around for a long time for my kids. I have about 50 pounds to lose and am hoping to get it off by next spring/early summer. If you have similar goals or just want to support each others weight loss efforts, hit me up with a friend request. :-)
