    Hi Chris I am a very stressed out 40 something. I was in the Navy for 25 years and never had a problem keeping my weight off but since retiring a couple of years ago I found the weight creeping up on me. I am now on a mission to lose 30 pounds just by changing my lifestyle. Would love to connect. Patsey

    I'm a housewife too! Married for almost 10 years and have 2 small children. My life is them. My husband works 12 hour days, so when he's home its about family. Its hard to work diet and exercise around a schedule thats not really yours! My husband tries to be supportive. Lots of "wow, you look great!" and "I know your working really hard." but he still wants burgers, tacos, bbq smothered dinners! If he even sees a package saying "low fat, low calorie" he claims he can taste a difference, but not if he doesn't see the package! LOL! My two little ones, work out with me a little. I do 100 sit ups everyday and they count for me! There fun.
    Hope this site works for you as much as it has for me, I've lost 6 lbs just since Thanksgiving, I would've normally gained in December, but didn't! Please feel free to add me:)

    I failed to introduce myself. I am 41, 4 kids, married 20 years this year and just trying to stay on a healthy path. My 20 something niece suggested MFP and I would love to be able to support her but I have so much work to do on myself.

    Hi there! I'm a 28 year old, stay at home mom of 3 young boys. I joined this site a week ago and I love it! I'm not always able to got outside and work out, but I've learned to do more things around the house, even if it means scrubbing the floors. Lol! My husband works full time and goes to school full time, so I'm actually on his schedule. Boo... :tongue:
