Hi,
I'm really new to this and wondering if anyone else is in the same boat as me! I'm trying to get to a healthy weight for the first time in my life!

    My current goal is about 32 more pounds, but 72 is probably my final goal. 42/m, married, living in South Carolina if you'd like to add me.

    BeaBella0614,

    Although I have been here since January 2014, I took a very very long break from calorie counting when I graduated from college in May 2014 (nearly a year, since I came back 16 days ago). I am definitely in the same boat as you, I need to lose around 70 pounds to be closer to a healthy weight (and the weight my doctor wants to see me at).

    Welcome to MFP! When I have been logging on, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and had success. Now it's time for me to jump back on the wagon and continuously log (foods and exercises) again!

    I am a busy mom and nanny and im not sure when it happened, but at some point i gave up on myself and over the last 5 years have gained about 50 lbs. Ideally i would like to lose around 70 which would put me at 130 lbs . Im working on breaking an emotional eating habit and putting myself first . I could use some friends and supporters in the same boat to cheer me on or remind me whats important along the way

    Wow! People are so supportive. It feels good to know I'm not alone with this.
    I've had two little girls in a short space of time and work too but think I need to quit with the excuses and start working on me. I'm an emotional eater too and need to break the cycle.
