I'm new here and I'm not even sure how this place works yet, but I need to say HELP!!! I need support!!! and I don't mean a better bra!!! (although that would be fantastic as well)
I am 38, need to lose 40lbs, am struggling with food, exercise, self image etc etc etc... I'm also a stay at home mom (right now) to my 2 yr old and I don't have many friends.
I am beginning to experience some pretty intense joint/muscle pains, 80% due to my weight. I don't want to be that hunched over old lady who can barely shuffle to the mailbox by the time I'm 60! But even that is apparently not motivation enough for me. I feel like I am trying to learn a new language with no one to teach me the ABC's.
