in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, I'm new to this site as of January 1st - I'm 50 years old and when I started on Jan 1 weighed in at 220.9 lbs. (that was my pregnancy weight 24 years ago!)...NOT ACCEPTABLE! I'm tired of using food as my comfort, but being an empty nester now, sometimes it's difficult not to turn to food for "company".

I managed to lose 30 lbs. following the Scarsdale Diet (yea it's really old - but works for me) a year and a half ago - but after planning a wedding and moving to another state last year I've gained 20 back - it's gotta go!!! So went back on the Scarsdale Tuesday.

Support please??

    Yes let's do it! My biggest obstacle is getting motivated for exercise, which I know is key.

    Hi there! I am right there with you. I weigh more right now than I did when pregnant with my son. Sad, but true. I can't keep up with my kids like I should be able to and honestly, it's scary and embarrassing. I need as much support as possible so I know how you feel!

    You have my support. Take it one day at a time. I know it is hard to exercise however anything is better than nothing. Even a walk around the block is good.:smile:
