Hi, I'm 43, mother of five, youngest are seven year old twins. I was losing weight for a good many years (in the middle of having babies) but 3 boys, really close together completely threw me off track.

I need to be back on track and it's been long enough, it's basically starting from scratch. I have about a hundred to lose. I'm 5'3'', and currently weigh 241. My heaviest was after my first child at 266. My lightest was right before finding myself pregnant with my third at 189. I found myself pregnant with my twins when #3 was a year, so I never really got back on track before all heck broke loose. 3 months of bed rest and then my 3 boys in 19 months, really REALLY made life difficult to do anything. I spent about three years in survival mode.

I started 4 days ago. I hope to find the support I need and am very supportive myself.
