    5 pounds down and more to follow. You are doing the right thing, and sometimes it does take a shake-up to jar us into action. No matter, you are doing the right thing and will be around to enjoy your girls for decades to come.

    You can do this.

    Way to go. One of my biggest downfalls was that I did not do this for myself. Do it for you and the rest will fall into place. You can do it. Somedays will be bad and others awesome. Keep up the good work.

    Hi Five!!! Feel free to use me as a friend. I just read last week that aging is affected by your genes by 30%. That means that 70% is affected by lifestyle! I feel sorry for this woman that passed away but it is a mixed blessing for you. As you stated, it's the wake up call that you need and this is such a great app. Run with it! You can do it and there are so many people behind you. Know that you are loved and respected by so many around you. Now you need to do the same for yourself:heart: !

    Of course you are having these feelings. You just went through a serious loss. And health is a serious and sometimes confusing matter. I am so sorry to hear about the death of your daughter's friend's mom. I hope you find the support you need.

    At the same time, I hope you can appreciate the fact that you are here -- on the site -- and making positive changes. Like someone else said, you're not alone, and we really are all in this together!

    Welcome to the site. I hope you grow to love it as much as I have. It's been a tremendous source of support and inspiration. I find I am much more mindful about my choices when I have to write them down and share them with the community. Also, my pals on the site really inspire me -- when I see the activity of my pals, well, I want to do even better!

    Feel free to add me if you like. You are doing great -- keep up the good work!

    You can do it! Somedays it may be hard and you don't want to exercise. Just remember how good it feels after you work out...

    You can do it! Good for you for taking action. Its hard and some days you may slip up, BUT dont let that hinder you! One or two 'slip-up' days is NOTHING compared to the amazing feeling you will have on the good days! You can do it! :)

    Good for you for losing that 5lbs and for getting started on a life changing path!!! Sometimes unfortunately it takes an awful life event for us to wake up and make changes, but better late than never. Never give up no matter how hard it is and if you stick with your excercise and keep yourself accountable for what you eat, you will do just fine. :))

    It takes courage to heed a wake up call and you're showing lots of courage. Good for you! You can do this just one step, one day at a time. You're in the right place here at MFP to do it. Remember to feed your soul and not just your body and things will go easier for you.

    Best wishes!

    Feel free to add me. I am a 69, almost 70 year old Grandmother. We have been married in Oct. 52 years. 4 grown children with families of their own. I have lost 38 pounds and dropped from a size 14 to a size 8. Still more to lose but it can be done. Hope and praying that you enjoy MFP. If you want to add me please do. I am from NC.

    Here for moral support! I could use the same! It seems that the weight comes off so slowly, it's easy to get discouraged! Adding you now! =)

    Hey, the first step to recovery is admitting that something is wrong.

    And you've already done that! :) You're already taking steps toward better health. You can do this. There are lots of success stories on this forum to encourage you, lots of people to get to know and hold each other accountable. You're in the right place.
