Hi!

Hi everyone! I just found this site today! Really trying to get back on track and lose this weight (but also trying not to go broke in the process!) This site was a real find! :bigsmile:

I'm 32, and hoping to lose a lot of weight!! Have about 66 lbs to lose unfortunately. :embarassed: I am a big stress eater, and currently have quite a bit of that in my life, between work and family.

I have done weight watchers, optifast, slimfast, no carb, low carb and almost every other diet type plan in the past. Weight has always been an issue for me, and I really think it's hugely the mental aspect that foils me everytime! I need to somehow overcome that!! I have had success before, I actually got to my goal weight, (lost 72 lbs total that time) just a few months before getting pregnant with my 1st.

Since then though life turned into a bit of a rollarcoaster which included the sudden death of my Mom, many pregnancy complications, my oldest sons diagnosis with autism, financial difficulties, job changes/huge workload increases...I could continue, but blah, who needs to get all down right!! Anyway I have just found it hugely challenging to get my "diet mojo" back these last few years. I just can't seem to "stick" to it. :grumble:

Anyway that is a little about me!

P.S. I wanted to also add that my health is what is most concerning for me. I have a pretty bad family history for blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and diabetes. My Father had a stroke at the age of 46 so of course this really terrifies me. I NEED to be around for a while, need to be there for my oldest especially, so I must find a way to overcome this weight problem and get healthy! I hate the way I look, but more importantly, I HATE more the way I feel!
