edited January 31 in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 44 year old mom/wife/paralegal/chauffeur/chef working to set a good example for my girls and trying to get my health back and even feel sexy sometimes. I've started a support system but would like some more support from other mom's who I can congratulate and commiserate with.

I started my weight loss journey three months ago with my doctor and a nutritionist who recommended logging my food with MFP, I'm officially down 30lbs and have another 30lbs to go. Anybody else looking for a support system? Let me know!

    Hello, I am a 43 yr old mom of 4 with my own daycare as well, who just began my weight loss journey. I have a looong way to go...about 100 lbs to be exact so I definitely would appreciate so support along the way!! I would love to hear of others my age who are fighting the same battle & will offer encouragement wherever I can. Look forward to hearing from you all soon.

    Add me! I haven't been doing so well. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease so I pretty much lost all momentum. I'm not 40 yet but I'm well on my way! I sure could use some inspiration and people to connect with. :smile:

    Add me!!! I'm a 48 year old mom working as an Executive Assistant. My girls are (get this...) 22 and 10 I had my picture taken with them last summer and UUUUUUGHHHH I couldn't believe what had happened to me! so I did some research, started logging my food (and eating better because of it) and doing some walking... then I hurt my back--down for nearly a year, I'm back at it again... I would like to lose 40 lbs by year end, and I'm hoping to reach 25% by the end of the week.

    Let's do this.
