My name is Rae. I am a wife of 18 yrs and a mom of 3. After my last pregnancy 3 years ago I never lost all the weight I gained then was put on a medication for fibromyalgia that caused a 2 lb a week weight gain. I am sitting at 212 and not happy about it at all. My current pant size is a snug 18. My goal is to fit into a 12 someday. That basically means I have to lose 62lbs. I am struggling with exercise because of my constant pain but still try. I am dealing with depression and looking at all my clothes that don't fit is really devastating some days. I am trying once again to lose some weight (I did it back in 2005 and kept it off until 2009) but know I can't do it alone. I hope I find some love and support here.

    Welcome Rae. Mfp is a great place to help you reach your goals and the friends I have met here are very supportive!

    Things that helped me the most was to check in every day, if not more then that. Log all my food. Good and bad. Some times I get embarressed about what I ate, but I log it any way. If I don't know what I'm eating I can't change it. Get out and exercise. I know its hard, but there are probably some things that will work for you. Just walk a little each day if nothing else.

    Add me as a friend if you like
