I am a 44 year old stay at home mother to three kids. I have two girls ages 13 and 14 and a son age
I live in Moncton, NB Canada. I have been struggling with weight loss for about 9 years. Now I need to lose 40 to 50 lbs and I don't know where to start.

    Hi friend! Don't worry too much about the right "where". Just start. Mfp is a huge help, build in exercise for you one hour a day, and enlist the help of supporters. No need for icecream in the house if it's a downer for mom! I suggest drinking lots of water, lose one unhealthy habit (mine was lattes) and keep track of what you do and eat. You'll be 5 lbs closer in no time! Once you are on a roll, it will be easier. For now, 1 day at a time.

    Thank you for your message rashmigoel!
    I am addicted to chocolate and rocky road ice cream.
    My main problem is that I'm not very well organized in the kitchen. I have no idea what kind of meals to make for myself and family.

    I'm in Moncton too! Two daughters 12 and 15. Just trying MFP for the first time. Always up for sharing healthy recipes! We have one vegan and one gluten free eater - can be challenging
