HI all

I am Laura. Am 46 years old, a widow as of 3 months ago and have an 18 year old and an almost 16 year old. Struggled with my weight for over 25 years and the addiction is getting worse lately so need to get a handle on it! Hope to meet new people people, friends, motivators, etc. Looking forward to sharing this journey

    Hi Laura!

    I'm Jackie, 45 and widowed 17 months ago after being a caregiver for a stroke survivor for 17 months. I also have 2 kids, 18 & 14. Planning meals is something I am truly struggling with. I've put on weight over several years, but am finally starting to pay attention to me and how I feel. I want/need to make a change for me and know I need to find others to help with support, encouragement and motivation.

    Please feel free to add me as a friend and we can encourage each other.

    Hi Laura, feel free to add me. My kids are 21 and 24, and I'm 46, not a widow, but also knowing this is the time that I have to do it for good. I'm on MFP daily and I like to leave comments for my friends and have them do the same. I love to encourage and be encouraged on this journey. Welcome :smiley:
