I am 36, I have struggled with my weight for years. I truly believe it is one of the main reasons I have been depressed for so long. Wanting a permanent change for my physical and mental health, want to be a better wife and mother to 6 kids!!

    I am new to MFP, actually today is my first day. I have tried everything else and nothing has worked. I know I need a lifestyle change. I am 43, an empty nester, school bus driver and lead singer in a rock band. I want to have an active life now that my children are raised and gone. I want to look and feel good inside and out. :happy:

    I've been on here about 2 weeks. I love it so far! New friends are always welcome and I'm happy to share my ideas! I have 140lbs to lose! I'm vegetarian, so my meals are meat free, but I try to post them when I can.

    Just getting started today…so let’s keep each other motivated. I have four children and meal selection can be a challenge for me most days. My weight gain has increased a lot in the last 7 years and I'm trying to gain control of it and develop a healthy lifestyle that will help me maintain those results (I have 72lbs to lose).

    You can feel great!

    Look up 'runners high' :)

    Set some achievable goals - don't be too harsh on yourself, accept the ups and downs. Even if they're small things, feel proud for taking positive steps :)

    At some points you will pleasantly surprise yourself.

    Hello. I am older than you, 48, but have young kids and feel the same. I am tired of being tired all the time, and want to be a better wife, mother, and overall person.

    I have to lose another 55+ pounds. The slider on my message signature says less, but I set that up to break it down into smaller, easily attainable goals.
