Introducing myself and need accountability

Options
Hello,

My name is Maureen and I am a mom of three who works part time and lives in Canada. I have 30 pounds to lose…. it has crept on slowly and if I had made changes last year at this same time, i would be at my goal weight. I have tried Weight Watchers several times but always leave because the meetings never change. I need accountability but I also need authentic conversations and learning time.

I have checked into Isagenix, I did LA Weight Loss, I have checked into HcG and I've checked into Bernstein. I don't want to go those routes. Slow and steady wins the race but an occasional awesome weekly loss would be a bonus every so often, too.

That's me so far… your help and encouragement would be so welcome!

    Welcome... Feel Free to add me if you want. Been around since August... hit the first 90 days fast and furious then Thanksgiving came and I just let the holidays take over... Back at it again, and have the support of many friends to help me get there. They were there when I was not doing so good cheering me on... Great Support group on MFP!!!

    Welcome! Feel free to add me as well. I've been off and on mfp for two years, but I too know slow and steady is the best way! I have three kids, who are now all in school, and I'm relearning how to be me!
