    I'm in!

    32, two kids, just celebrated my 12th anniversary on Tuesday. Living in KCMO.

    Holy crap, am I really middle-aged?!

    This is cool! Great to meet everyone.

    I love the fact that we are questioning the "middle age" part, but no one says a thing about the Fat part! :laugh:

    I'm glad I found this group. I started MFP on Feb. 6th weighing in at 254. I'd like to get down to 200. I'm doing this in 10 week periods. I want to drop 15 lbs. in the first 10 weeks and then re-evaluate my goals.

    I will be 38 this year, been married for 6 years, have 3 step kids (16, 14, 13). Wife moved to Portland with her kids last month because she found a great job. I stay back because we need to sell our house and I have to find a job there before I quit here..... lots of stress
    I quit smoking last year and added about 18 lbs to my already fat body.....

    I decided to not let myself go anymore than that. Being alone has advantages. I can go to the gym early morning, and prepare more healthy dishes. I cook for 3 growing teens and they eat a lot more than just salads....

    Anyway I am already back to my pre stop smoking weight..... and I am determined to stop.

    I have lots to lose to be in the healthy bmi range but I have set mini reach goals in increments of 10 lbs. First 10 lbs was a steack dinner at Texas road house and a couple of beers. Second 10 lbs same...... 50 lbs a straight rasor shave at a salon....

    I know how you feel on the stress side. I really wish we were able to do this in a vacuum with no other distractions.
    I am trying to change so that the more other crap that is going on, the more I focus on getting to the gym and making the right choices. It isn't easy, but if I don't, everything goes to **** quickly.

    I hear that Hoss...it seems like when I finally get used to the changes I have had to make, then something else pops up. Dealing with stress and health is never easy but I am thankful to have good support (both here and with family)
