I am a new member and need some motivation.

Hi,

I am new and now getting the time to learn more about this great site.

I am from the Island Trinidad in the West Indies. I will be 46 in about 2 weeks. Have been married 24 years. Have a 21 yr old, 16 yr old and a 9 yr old.

I think I am having a serious mid life crisis.

I recently work up and felt that life has passed me by and I have nothing to show for it and have wasted it.

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. And on two occasions lots about 80 lbs and then put it back on and more.

I have lost about 20 lbs since last October ( put on some again at Christmas and then Easter) and now back down. Would love to lose another 20 but don't know if I would be realistically be able to keep it off so would be happy with 10 more. I know I will never be slim but just want to be able to feel better about myself and to be able to go shopping and find stuff that I like that fits.

Started the gym last week which I have always hated but really trying to make it a way of life this rounds.

Anyway hoping to meet some people on here to help support each other and make some friends

Looking forward to hearing from you guys.

Victoria.
