Starting my life & weight loss over....

edited October 2016 in Introduce Yourself
I used to be a pretty active member here. Then life got crazy and without going into too much detail basically I'm going through a rough divorce. It's been very ugly & even resulted in me having to get a restraining order. So with the stress of the initial separation, being in & out of court plus becoming a single Mom I started skipping workouts & let my eating get out of control. On top of that I injured my ankle really bad which meant taking more time out of the gym. So I have put on a good 15 pounds the past few months & I'm so disappointed in myself. I worked so hard on my body & used to be a so focused on my diet & workouts. I feel like I have thrown all my hard work away. I feel like I am letting my soon to be ex take even more from me. I just get focused again, I want to be even better than I was before! I want a new body to go along with my new life. So I'm back & going to use MFP to hold me accountable & I'd love to make some new friends! Especially single Moms like myself who have been where I am & can help to keep me motivated. Thanks so much for reading!

    I'm 5'2" and my current weight is 160 - looking to get down to 130ish as well! I had a lot of success a few years ago on mfp, but slacked and gained everything back and then some. I'm looking for people who log on regularly to motivate me. Happy to do the same for you :smile:
