    Hey everyone! I'm 42 & the mom of 3 great kids, 21, 16 & 14. I've been up and down on the scale for my entire life and being only 5'2", that really stinks! :) I lost 30+ lbs ten years ago and kept it off for about five yrs. Then life took over, combined with horrible eating habits and a crazy lazy exercise approach, & I have gained all that I had lost and even gained another 30 lbs on top of that! My starting weight was the heaviest I've ever been and I realized I had to do something...for me! Six months in, 20 inches gone and 38 lbs lighter, I feel so much better---physically and mentally. It feels great to put forth the effort and see results! I log in my calories, try to stay under goal, eat more healthy, exercise 6 days a week and try to read something motivational every day to stay excited about this journey! I know I didn't put it on overnight and that it won't come off overnight... it's all about the journey back to ME! Good luck to everyone...we can do this! DON"T GIVE UP! Feel free to friend request, I love to give/receive support! :)

    Hi, I am 41 and have done nothing but gradually gain weight over the last year and a half. I think I gained about 20 pounds and would like to lose most of it. I have 2 kids, ages 11 and 9. One day at a time. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    44, recently seperated and starting all over in life. I lost some weight last year after the initial seperation...I believe due to the LOSS off STRESS!! Now I'd like to continue that and loose about 35 lbs.

    I am hoping that with actually LOGGING in my food and exercise, it will slap me in the face and make me realize that I need to do more of one and less of the other!! :laugh:

    I would love to have friends along my journey!!
