...I'm a new member to MFP :-) been about a week and so far, this app has become my new favorite (deleted my old one lol) Since my youngest son was born back in 06, I've gone through so much and really let myself go...didn't care much about taking care of my health, although I was very aware of the consequences beginning to affect my body. I guess you could say I've always had low self esteem issues...but all thanks be to God, He made me realize I am more valuable than what I believed, and I have a precious family that needs me to get healthy to be here for them for a very long time :-) so since May, I've lost a total of 42 lbs and counting! I'm not at my goal weight yet, but in the Name of Jesus, I WILL get there soon! Stay positive and focus on what you want to accomplish and never give up :smile:

    Welcome Circa :) I'm fairly new too. I joined last year but didn't rejoin until this September and yesterday was the first time I looked at the forums.

    That is a fantastic result - 20kgs (or more) down! I'm from Australia so I use metric.

    I put on a LOT of weight in the last 2 years - at least 15kgs. I was doing 2 roles in the one job (one role got made redundant and the extra duties got added to my role) and when I stress out, I'm an emotional eater (as I try to distract myself from boredom or stress).

    I have 40kg to lose to get to a healthy weight...but all I'm focusing on right now is tracking along each day.

    If you would like to be friends, feel free to add me! :)
