Hello everyone, I will be turning 40 in June and want to lose 40 pounds by then. I have put on a significant amount of weight in the last six months taking car of two ill parents, one of whom's weight has brought about most of the illness. I became a crazy stress eater who had no time to focus on me and was too distracted to see what I was doing to myself. Work, sick parents and a teenage daughter starting college was a lot on my plate. Things seems to have calmed down now and I really want to focus on me and getting healthy again. I wish you all the best of luck.

    Welcome - You will find this site very helpful - just commit to checking in and logging your foods, you will quickly be able to make great changes in your life. When I feel like snacking, I come read the message boards instead, keeps my mind off food and gives me great inspirational stories to motivate me.

    Good luck it's so hard to put yourself above others at times but you have to or you can get very resentful (I know) . and that makes you feel bad & quilty then you eat. Real bad cycle

    I am going to be 30 and want to lose 30 pounds before June 1 ! Good luck :) My friend motivated me to do this because she had this goal before her 30th birthday, and my sister lost 40 pounds before her 40th a few years ago.

    Have a great night.
