A New Year, A New Me

Hunterlady

Here it is 2013 and I am weighing more than I did a year ago. This year I expect to lose about 25-50 lbs. but would like to make some friends who are hoping to lose the same amount of weight to help me, keep motivated and suggest new food ideas. I am 68 years old and still working so I also need motivation to do some exercising. If anyone is interested, I would be much appreciated. I live in the Northeast US where the weather is cold and keeps me inside a lot. HELP!

Lots of great support on here! I am a busy bee working 2 jobs so I struggle to find time to work out. Feel free to add me!

I am also trying to lose over fifty pounds and would love to have some encouragement. Feel free to drop me a line whenever you need a little support and or want to just chat about our process and journey with losing weight.

Had to get started as it's too easy to sit back and do nothing. Had a hysterectomy in Nov 12 so aiming to lose the weight now I can exercise again. Got about 2 st to lose but 3 would be better

I have been struggling with food addiction since I was four years old, and if I could remember earlier on than that, I'd probably have been in the food then too. I have had periods of recovery, usually followed by worse food relapses. I've been on a diet since I was in fourth grade, spent my formative years hiding in big blue sweatshirts, perfecting my primo personality (to fool people into thinking I was worthy of knowing) and then got in with other addictions to drugs and alcohol. It wasn't pretty.
I could be discouraged by all of this experience of trying so hard, and not getting where I need to go, but I choose to remain grateful for this journey I am on. As someone who has received a lot of help from other addicts, I want to lose weight so that I could feel better about myself, and then help other people like me lose the weight that they need to lose.
