Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this board. I'm a 43 yr old Mom with 3 children (14, 11, 4) and I work as a Radiation Therapist. I have always been overweight. Always seems to be on a diet but only to lose and then gain the same 20 pounds. A few years ago, I lost 60 pounds! I felt awesome. However, because I lost the weight, I unexpectedly found myself pregnant (I hadn't been able to get pregnant before that---my first two kids were adopted) and I gained back all the weight. Well, the baby is now 4 and I still haven't lost the weight and I am feeling it. So, I am here to commit, learn and lose it again. I would love some new friends to help me along the way.

Lynn

    HI :)
    Welcome!

    I'm 44. I'm an empty-nester, but some life changes a decade ago ended up adding 60lbs to my body. I'm here to lose those pounds and then some!

    Happy to be walking the path with you :)

    Hi, I'm Suzy, I am new, I've been using MFP on and off for awhile but this is the first time joining a group. I have also lost and gained, I lost 80 lbs. around 2001 and have gained it all back. :-( I have 3 kids 18,15 & 9. I would love to connect with some other Moms who would like to get healthy!

    This is a great support group. I go to myfitpal because my friends never seem to "stick with it".
