:smile: Hi I'm Lisa I'm 48 yrs old and have been overweight for about 20 years. I have recently gained about 20 lbs over my normal overweight weight. LOL and nothing fits I'm so uncomfortable and just don't look myself. I get depressed and eat, I eat just to eat. It's to the point where I eat when I'm not hungry and just grab stuff all the time to have. I've been on weight watchers and lost an average of 20 lbs each time and I feel good about that but then I mess up stop going to meetings so I'm paying for nothing. So I decided to try this and record my food and goals and hopefully meet some people on here for support.

    Welcome Lisa! I hope MFP is the place that will work for you. I've done WW in the past as well. Successful a few years ago, but not recently. So, I came back to MFP and am doing better. I'm 45 and understand the struggle. I wish you luck. Feel free to friend request and I'll do what I can to help support your goals.
