    one thing I can say is. Don't stop no excuses not to pull the plug on eating bad things. Plus work out at least three times a week to start. I started by just walking. enrolled in two biggest loser programs at work. I won one. If i can do it so can you.

    Hi there! I am in the same boat as you, 30 y/o mother of 2 boys and wanting to lose my last 15 lbs and then stay on track after to not allow the weight back again :) Feel free to add me as a friend on here. I don't have any either and I keep seeing that it is easier to continue with MFP if you have friends for inspiration. Good luck and we can do this together :)

    Thanks everyone!! I was an athlete in my younger years and when I graduated college, I kept eating but forgot about working out! I've slowly inched my way up to 200lbs and now I have 40 lbs to lose!! I have a very supportive husband who always has an encouraging word. He's in the Army, so he's fit and trim and I feel like I don't "match"him!

    I lost about 16 pounds a year and a half ago, and then maintained for the last year. May will be my two year anniversary date. I'm ready to wrap this up and get down the last six pounds. I'm tired of the old numbers, and would like to see some new ones. I have posted pictures on the refrigerator and put the scale next to the door, but it is all in the mind set. I need to get back in the grove. Maybe the right friends will help.
