    I'm in a similar boat. Have about 60 lbs to lose. Currenty just over 195 and I'm 5'7"

    I gained mine with pregnancy too.....but now they are 11 and 13 years old! Lol!

    My advice is to kick this into gear while they (and you) are young. You will be rewarded with more energy for your kids and yourself. Sets a great example too as you will likely raise them with great eating habits that you will inevitably pass down.

    This is my first post though I've been doing mfp off an on for a while. I am seeking motivation & support this time. I have finally accepted that it's ok to reach out to others for help. You have already done it by posting, so you are on your way. we just have to keep on pushing.

    Good luck! :)
