    All are welcome to friend me

    Hi all and Sassyk,
    I am 42 years and 110 kg wich is my heaviest weight ever. I am a mother of 4 kids (11 b, 9 g, 4 b, 3 b). We migrated to canada in 2013 and i have been stressed out ever since. Now i am having health problems like panic attacks which are quite severe. My last ambulance trip was last monday which they ct scanned me for a blood clot in the lungs. Thank God that was false, but i think ot was a wale up call for me.
    I must get my weight under 80 kg. Since last Monday i stopped rice and bread and found my self dieting without relizing it, now i realy want to continue and change my life style. Sassyk, we need all the support and motivation to stay on track, hope i find it here with you.
    Good for you for making this choice! ! We can support each other. :smile:

    Thank you dear

    Hi all. I am 5'2", and currently 347, which is WAY TOO MUCH for my height! I don't know what my highest weight was, but it had to be near 365. My scale stopped working - just got my new one sent to me yesterday - so I was able to weigh myself finally after 20+ days back on MFP. I am a single female with no one else in the house to feed, so I have no excuses there! I work 80+ hour weeks though and that makes the food choices something I don't put much thought into. I have been slowly getting into the meal prep world because it eliminates having to stress out over what to eat/make every day. I am looking for support and I would also love to support others. I think we are all here for the same reasons - weight loss and health - so feel free to add me as well. Oh and I am from the San Francisco Bay Area, CA if that matters. :)

    I am a lot older than all of you so not revealing my age, but I started my journey 3years ago at 370 lbs. And now am at 225. I also am 5' 2". It is slow going for me as exercise is hard with fibromyalgia and a bad back. However, you can do this if you are patient and stay focused. Best wishes for you and your husband.
    Honey it doesn't matter what your age is. We can still support each other & relate that sounds like a great job especially with those Obstacle I too have back problems & fibromyalgia. Stay positive

    Hi! My name is Anna. I would be happy to give some motivation as long as you send some motivation my way. I am 40, standing 5'4 and weighing 359 pounds. I started a at 416 pounds about a year ago after a long drawn out divorce and many years of unhappiness prior to it. Now that the divorce is behind me I am taking care of me. I also have a thyroid issue that causes my weight loss be slightly difficult but I am trying not to discourage me. I am working on a low carb diet. My fitness plan has me eat 253 grams a day. I cut that down 125-150 a day and I have seen great success. So send me a friend request and we can be each other motivation. Good Luck!
    Hi Anna, I too have been threw a divorce never easy. Congrats on your success :smile:
