Sudden weight gain due to divorce stress, financial stress, and life changes. Ready to get fit and happy again, and feel like the old me. Glad my sis got me back on track. This is day one on goal to lose 20pounds.

    You have got this! I just started 11 days ago and have lost 6.2 lbs. I realize it will slow down but I am soooo excited!

    Good luck! Are you also taking steps to manage the stress? I found that is also helpful in losing weight. It is amazing how the mind affects the body, and the body affects the mind.

    Take care of the whole "you" and we will see you in the "Success stories" section soon.

    Me too! I gained 45 pounds after my divorce. It's been 3 years and I've only now decided to do something about it and get my life back.
    Let's be buddies. I'll send a friend request.

    So glad to know I'm not the only one, 5 years since an ugly divorce, and 50 pounds later, single parent. I am starting this journey with MFP.
