:flowerforyou: I am new to MFP however, I have struggled with weight loss for about 10 years now. I have been successful in the past with WW but once I would loses 30 lbs or so hit a platuea and get frustrated. My last attempt at losing with WW while attending meetings was 1/08 and I lost 27lbs. I have kept 17 of those horrible pounds off. I have realized that I want this now more than ever and I need support that I dont get @ home, so I am reaching out for a few good buddies. :) Being a mom of three makes it hard to find time for me, but I am finally putting my foot down. I deserve this and I am going to make it happen. So please if you can share your enthusiasm and support I would greatly appreciate it!

    You can do it! If you need motivation, just look at your kids. You want to be there to see them graduate high school, get married, etc. Lose weight to be healthy. :heart: I know how hard it is to stay motivated. I tried WW a few times and just couldn't keep it up. They were too nice. haha I am hoping that I can finally get down to my goal weight and stay there.
