edited November 2023 in Getting Started
I am married with two teenage boys (18 & 15), I live in a small town in Nebraska and have gradually over the last ten years gained about 100 pounds. I really hate who I've become and know the change needs to happen! I've done MFP a couple times for short periods and always lost weight so I know it works. But having so much weight to lose always gets me in the end.

I'm looking for buddies that are going to be totally committed to doing this for awhile so I can keep my motivation and motivate others as well. Prefer people who are in similar situations to me...ya know middle aged, mothers that are fat. LOL

    Welcome! I'd be happy to support you and you can do the same for me. I'm also 5'9" and had a total of about 90# to lose. The first 45 came off, but 14 snuck back on. I've banished 5 of those for good now and have the next 55# to go. We can do it :)

    Please don't "hate who you've become" - I'm betting you're still the same wonderful person who happens to weigh more. Now it's time to take care of ourselves!

    I'm not in your age bracket but I am a mom to a very active 5 year old girl and I am in this for the long haul! Feel free to add! I try my damnedest (Southern thing, I guess!) to exercise every day and even if I don't eat well I still log it. I'm looking to lose about 50 lbs, give or take. More going for the look than the loss.

    Feel free to add me! I am only 22 but I have an 18 month-old daughter & a 6 month-old son.
    I was bed rested for the last trimester of my pregnancy with my 6 month-old, & that helped me gain a LOT of weight :(
    Of course having 2 babies back-to-back didn't help!

    After having my son my goal was to lose 100lbs. This goal was decided mid-March & I'm half way there. 50lbs lost & 50lbs to go!
    The day after having my son I was 225lbs, & over the following two months, 15lbs came off on their own.
    It was mid-May & I was sitting at 210lbs with no self-esteem.
    I joined mfp & now here in August I'm sitting at 174lbs trying to lose 50lbs more, which will put me back to what I was before both of my babies!
