Looking to lose 40lbs

Hello fellow MFP users! I'm here for motivation and to also help motivate, so feel free to add me. I gained 40 lbs over the past 3 years, I lost my Mother and Nephew within one year of each other and I looked for comfort in food, blahhhh. I've decided it's time to get back to myself and live a long HEALTHY Life. Who's with me? ☺

    What an awful year .... Very difficult for you . My daughter suffers from depression and anxiety ..she worries about something happening to me . I'm a comfort eater and have piled on 20 kilos in the last few years , would so love to get back into shape for health and vanity reasons too ! I have a big birthday Jan 17 .. Want to be looking good ! I'm not sure how to add friends .

    Hi, add me as a friend if you want, I too fell victim to comfort eating and just completed a nine day cleanse losing 7.25lbs & 6" feeling FANFECKINTASTIC and moving onto next level of healthy eating and fitness.

    Who would have known that getting fit could be so addictive?! Lol

    Hi there. My name is Diane and I am looking to lose about 50 to 60 pounds this year. Preferably by August. I've been up and down with a lot of weight loss trends and diets in the past and I really want to do this now and keep it off for the rest of my life. I'm in my mid 30's and I'm tired of seeing the woman looking back at me in the mirror because I've lost weight before and I know I can do it again. Looking for ideas and support and just some friendly conversation about weight loss ideas and weight loss goals and of course what has worked for you. Please friend me or follow me and help me out. By the way I'm doing low carb high protein right now.
