Hi everyone, I'm new around here and would love some friends to share this journey with!

I'm 38 with two kids, a busy job and about 70lbs to lose. I've tried different plans in the past (WW, SW, calorie counting on another site) and I've even lost weight with some of them, but for the last few years I have really struggled to get back into the swing of losing weight and living healthily. I seem to have spent the last 5 years starting 'diets', losing a few lbs and then falling off the wagon and putting it all back on again, plus some extra for good measure. Result - today I weigh more than I have ever done (I wasn't even this heavy when I was 9 months pregnant :\ ). I need to change my ways, so I bought a Jawbone Up24 (thank you Black Friday ;) ) and signed up for Pact and MFP. I'm hoping that a combination of these things will help keep me on the straight and narrow and get me where I need to be.

If any of this sounds familiar, or even if it doesn't, please add me as a friend - I'd love to get to know some people on here and help support each other.

    Yes I agree with everyone else. I just started the journey and I am trying to only think healthy thoughts and take it one day at a time. If I go beyond that then I am overwhelmed. I promised myself that I will look at this as a journey that will have detours and I need to enjoy the journey as I learn more about myself.

    I can lose the weight but cannot keep it off. Hoping to learn some new things this time around.
