Hi everyone. I'm new to MFP as of today. I'm a wife & mom in my mid 20s. I'd love to lose about 35-40 pounds. I've tried to lose weight on my own, and I just keep losing & gaining the same 5-10 lbs over and over. I'm very frustrated, so I'm hoping that this site can help motivate me! I'd love for some friends to support me :smile:

    In my early to mid 20's I was skinny. By my late 20's I was 40-50 pounds overweight. In my 30's I was 50-80 pounds overweight. By the time in hit 45 years old I was 125 pounds overweight. I have YOYO dieted over the past 20 years. I would lose 20 pounds and then regain it and more. So you guys are in your 20's. Learn from the old folks. Stop the cycle now. Losing 40 pounds is no big deal when you're young, but trying to lose 125 when you get older is a lot harder.
