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:

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).

H All

I'm new here also and have 50+lbs to lose...so friends on here are a must as it's going to be a loooong journey for me it seems.


Good luck to everyone and add me if you want

feel free to ad me also

I can completely relate to how you feel. I definitely need some support and motivation. Feel free to add me... we can support each other!

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.

I have about 50lbs to lose and am also trying to make healthy lifestyle changes. Feel free to add me...I need all the ideas and support I can get as well :-)

Hi there! I too have struggled with my weight for years. Just start slow, even just doing 5 minutes of walking around is better than nothing. It will take time to build up to going longer. I am always looking for buddies for support & to support! feel free to add me

Exercise is the best anti-depressant....and it's FREE! Take the kids to the park, walk around the track for 30 minutes and you will burn about 130 calories. This is a lifestyle change so it wont happen over night, but taking one step at a time will do wonders for your attitude and depression. You can do this! Feel free to add me!

I have been there too!! I felt stuck in a rut and hopeless. Some days I felt like I could never win. I would be depressed about myself then just eat more. I had lost 60 pounds and recently gained back about 15 so I am on my journey again. Just think to yourself how far you would have came if you would have stuck to the first diet you ever started. Use that as your motivation also think SUMMER!! I know I'm sick of feeling bad about myself in even a tshirt and jeans. Make a plan, stick to your plan and always remember why you started in the first place. Make a motivation wall or jar. You can take two jars labled "pounds to lose" and "pounds lost" and put the amount of weight you want to lose in marbles in the pounds to lose jar and every time you lose a pound put one marble in the "pounds lost" jar.. this is a great motivation tool. Good luck and I wish you the best

I will add you I am looking for pals too so we can push (gently) & encourage each other.
