My name is Crystal and I have been a dieter all my life, or so it feels like. The scale goes down and then goes right back up. I have a two year old son who is my motivation to get healthy. I've lost 52 pounds over the past year, but still have a ways to go. I came to this site hoping to find some friends and some motivation :)

    :flowerforyou: I am looking for encouragement, motivation. And to meet people I can encourage & help motivate!!
    My name is Cherri. I am 47. YIKES!! I have 7 kids, 4 grandkids, and an amazing husband!! I would have to say I have
    been a dieter all my teen/adult life. In my teens I became obscessed with my weight which would be the beginning of
    about 8 yrs with anorexia/bulimia. I 'hid' it well. No one knew until 1987 when I finally became pregnant and my migraines began to get worse. At four months along I was down to 114lbs. My doctor told me to eat....therefore I did.... and haven't
    figured out how to get a handle on it since. Food has become a safety net from the migraines - or so my mind believes.
    I need to learn to break that belief and be free to be healthy. Now to make things even more interesting, a year and a half
    ago I was in an auto accident which left me with MPD (Myofascial Pain Disorder - similar to Fibromyalgia). Now I am in constant back pain. Exercising is exhausting for me but I am determined to get into the best shape my body & God will allow.
    I hope to lose 30 pounds, 20 by July. In July our youngest daughter is getting married. I want to look & feel awesome for that day....and the rest of my life!!

    I'm on the same boat as you but without any kids. Just trying to lose weight and eat healthier. Gained 50 lbs for the past 6 years so I'm trying to lose it all and get back to my original weight. Add me :smile:
