Hi! 40 years old. Looking to lose 50.

Any other new people out there in the same boat?
I just joined this week, and am incredibly impressed with the site and everyone’s excitement and support.

I live in the northeast and have two little boys. They (and husband) are my shining lights and I hope to show them I can shine.
(so I can also chase after them).

I’m pretty reluctant to begin... to really give it a go, as I gained all this weight the past 5 years, and am Constantly told it’s going to be extremely hard to lose, given I’m 40.

I’m truly psyched to find any great people out there who may be in the same position I am. Let’s do this together!

Again, what an absolutely amazing site and community you’ve all developed. I’ve scrolled through dozens of message boards and you all are incredibly positive people. I hope to get back to that zone as well!
