    hey y'all!! I'm ready to stay focused and be a better ME!!! I have lost the weight before so I know I can do it again. I'm 40 yrs old and live in Texas. I've got a good deal of weight to lose (more than 75 lbs) and I would love some new buddies to help and motivate *each other* along the way!!! I'm a stay at home mom and caregiver to my mom.. my dad passed away about 2 months ago and that in itself had me sidetracked for a bit....but I am ready to get back up on the healthy me wagon and get this done!!! Hope to talk with y'all soon :)

      I'm in my 40's too and planning on losing 50+ pounds. Seems the older I get the less it's about looks and more about health. Sorry for your loss but it sounds like you have quite a few people counting on you to be there for them for a very long time to come. Good luck with you weight loss and definitely feel free to add me!
