Hello everyone, my name is Charity and I am a mom of 2 wonderful (most of the time lol) children. I recently lost my mom as a result of a heart attack and she was also battling lung cancer. After her death, I began reassessing my health regime and decided it was time for a change. I have tried in the past to maintain a healthy lifestyle only to fall short and become deterred from trying. I have battled weight issues since 1997 after I moved to the states and gained a whopping 60lbs in one year. I got down to 175 but then quickly became overweight again after having my son and daughter. I not only struggle with weight loss but I also struggle with my body image as I had 2 c sections with my children. I am hoping to lose tons of weight and get into a healthier lifestyle so that I can have more energy to keep up with my 6 and 2 year old and hopefully prolong my life expectancy.

    I've been on this site for a while but as you can see from my ticker I've not had great success and that's my own fault That people here on MFP are great and they do a great job I just haven't had the motivation or the willpower to do anything lately
    Good luck with your goals:)

    Welcome! I'm new too - female, 42 with 2 kids 10 and 6. I never lost the baby weight after 2 c - sections. I'm hoping to drop 35-40 lbs. I've been on and off tracking my food and exercise since June, but just started to get serious the last week. I also want to get healthier! I really like the site. Feel free to add me as a friend.
