Hi

I've always had weight issues.
I used to be 75kg 2 years ago. But since I quit my job and started work from home, I am now 95 kg.
I am 5' 7" tall. 30 years old female.

The biggest problem I have is to be motivated and determined to control calory intake. I am an emotional eater and I eat if I am bored, angry, sad or even feeling relaxed and happy. so almost all the time I think about eating.

I really need help to stick to my 1200 cal/day target and I really need a friend to chat with who is like me.

Thanks :smile:

    I'm sure you'll find lots of support available on MFP. My weight-loss target is very similar to yours and I've managed to get a good way along the track, and believe me, if I can do it, so can you!

    In terms of controlling your intake then i've found the MFP App to be invaluable.

    Oh, and stick with it. Then stick with it some more.:laugh:

    Feel free to add me as a friend! :happy:

    You sound like me.I am a stay home mom too! I knew I had gained some weight but I didn't know how much until I went to the dr two weeks ago. I found out I had gaid 20 lbs. Because, I was having a hard time getting over a cold I decided to quit smoking and I gained 5 more. So, needless to say I started this program on Tuesday. My goal is 40lbs and I haven't made any friends yet. You can add me if you want.
