in Introduce Yourself
Posted this earlier but have rejoined again. In need of inspiration from other older moms with young kids.

I am a 49 year old mom of three childern under 10 looking for some encouragement from other moms dealing with the stress of kids, work (at home or away from home) and perimenopause (or menopause as the case may be). Joined MFP last May but let life get away from me. Now that I have one year until I turn 50 with two soon to be first graders and soon to be 4th grader I need to buckle down and get this done. I weighed in at 165.5 this morning with a first goal of 142# and ultimate goal of 128#. Gotta do it this time!!!

    Hi! I consider myself older or I maybe its that I just feel ancient! lol I am 43 (my husband is 54) and we have 4 children aged 15, 12, 10, & 5. I've been with MFP a while on and off but have really taken my health/weight loss seriously since this past April. Happy to join this bandwagon to commiserate, encourage, and motivate each other.
