in Introduce Yourself
Hi my name is Andrea. I'm from SE Texas between Houston & Galveston Tx. I'm 34 years old with 4 teenagers. I've been almost successful 2x & almost hit my 1st goal.
Both times. Then became lazy.. I gave up on myself & gained the weight back even more!! I've been beating myself up emotionally, clothes wouldn't fit right anymore & my self esteem fell to the floor. I felt fat, looked fat and am fat. I've told myself 3rd times a charm . this time in not turning back. I started out at 249 lbs on Oct 11, 2017 & my first goal is 200 lbs.Then once I get there I'll update with my 2nd goal. Today is Nov. 3, 17 & I'm 236.8 lbs.Who's with me? Add me I need motivated positive MyFitnessPal friends.

    You can do this. I am trying this again too. Yesterday my husband told me how good I looked when I was getting dressed. It felt good. So I thought I would weight myself since I hadn't done that in a while. I was at 190, the largest I have ever been. Later that evening went clothes shopping and realized the cute clothes didn't look as cute when a belly is in the way. Starting fresh today. I am 50, have 7 year old and darn it I want to look good.

    Hi, Andrea! I'm right there with you! You & I are in the same boat. I have 4 kids (3 teens & 1 preteen) too, and am starting back again after falling off the wagon last year! What plan are you following? I know everyone has something that works for them, for me that is the LCHF/Keto diet. Everyone needs motivation no matter what plan/lifestyle they are following. I wish you the best in your weight loss, and just add me if you'd like to be "MFP" friends. I'm sure we could motivate each other along the way, since we have about the same amount to lose.
