Needing support and friends

Hi,

I'm relatively new to this and really need to connect with people and have people encourage me and be accountable to. I am 43 years old and a mother of 3 year old boy/girl twins. I'm working on my doctorate, and I'm really close to being there. It takes a lot of time and energy and is super stressful. But, I'm generally a pretty happy person, though this forced diet has me grumpy at times. I'm glad for the motivation though, I know I will have to succeed in order to get through this and feel as good as I can.

The things I need to have accountability for are eating my veggies and keeping things low in fat and exercising. Because of GI issues, I can't run or do vigorous exercises right now, so I'm keeping to walking and yoga. I'm a triathlete, so that is a bit hard, but also kind of refreshing.

I currently have about 90 lbs to lose. I can do it!
So, if you like being encouraging and/or holding people accountable, please friend me! :flowerforyou:
