New, 38y 5'7" and tired!

New to the MFP community.

I'm enjoying most of the message board posts. Some are concerning, but overall people seem warm & helpful.

I have children and work full time. I'm busy like most of you.

No idea what my current weight is (never been much of a scale person.) I'm still comfortable in my bikinis but I think my energy level will improve if I lose 10-15 pounds and/or focus more on strength training & nutrition.

I've been more tired lately. It's almost certainly stress (long story) and not taking care of myself the way I know I should. My annual physical was a-okay.

I do have some mild issues with emotional eating, but I have worked on accepting that part of myself & self-correcting.

My mother in law is a physician (internist) who says that in her experience, support and tracking are two keys to weight loss that most people miss.

That's me, in a nutshell, and that's why I'm here.

Thank you.

Amanda
