Hello! It's comforting to know that I'm not alone. I have battled with my weight for the past 21 years. I would like to say it began when I became pregnant with my twins. NOPE! I only gained 30 pounds with them so that's not it. I'll be 43 yrs old a week from today and I am sick and tired of being sad and unhappy. I need to get myself together. As a single woman, I should not be sitting at home on a Saturday night alone.

I am looking forward to starting this journey for the last time. I need the accountability...please someone, keep me accountable.

:wink:

    Hi everyone! I joined over a year ago, but never did anything with it, but I'm hoping to do much better this time around! Not sure how to add friends, but I'd love to give/receive some support from friends on here!

    Welcome!

    I had a similar awakening last October when I turned 40. Took a few months, but joined in Feb. Best decision I ever did done make. It takes a bit of dedication but it's oh so worth it!

    Saw the article in Woman's world magazine. I have tried several diets. Successful with weight watchers lost 40 pounds then had hysterectomy and have been fighting ever since. This sounds like it could work. I think I also need a support group to make this easier . I am turning 55 this week and don't want to look like this anymore!

    I just joined this site. Here I am again, trying to lose weight. Never belonged to a "group" site. I'm 47y.o. and I am determined to lose weight this time. I know how/what to eat. It's the exercise that I'm not doing and know I should. How many times can you watch success stores on youtube before you decide you should be one of those people!

    Feel free to add me, hun. I'm in the same boat for needing someone to hold me accountable besides myself. (I'm way too forgiving to myself most of the time. :P )

    ps, sending you a friend request. :)
