edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
I am a 43 year old (soon to be 44 year old) mother to two. One 15 year old daughter and one 21 year old college son. I have been married 21 years. I have battled weight my entire life. I have battled binge eating, stress and emotional eating and self sabotage. After years of therapy I am the place that I can finally start to follow my medical docs advice and start to make myself healthy physically and put this whole lifestyle together. I would love to find some supporters/friends who can help support along the journey. I look forward to this being a very inspiring new year ahead.

    Welcome to MFP. This is a great site, lots of very helpful people on here.

    Feel free to add me. I'm a 40 year old mom to 3 young kids. Started out at 224 lbs, 175 now. When all is said and done, should be a 85-90 lb loss for me when I hit my goal weight (eventually) :)

    Hi

    Me too. I have girls aged 12 and 14 and the same age as you. I had over 100lbs to lose but have lost 35 odd to date.

    Could do with all the friends I can to help me get to my goals.
