in Motivation and Support
I am 48 and struggling to keep my sanity. I live with my husband and son, both of which struggle to gain weight. Unfortunately I gain weigh just preparing their meals. I am so frustrated with how much they have to eat to maintain weight while I eat like a mouse and gain 10 lbs. I am looking for someone who has a clue how hard it is to lose weight.

    Hey there! I’m also a mom and have dedicated myself to losing weight, ill admit it’s not easy but after many attempts I’m finally getting the hang of it, slow and patience is key. I’m not too hard on myself anymore, and I just commit to do a little physical fitness everyday. Best of luck with your success!

    I’m with you. Have 4 active kids (3 competitive swimmers) so trying to keep their calorie intake up is so in contrast to what I need. It’s frustrating. It also seemed as soon as I hit 40, my body went “nope”. But gonna keep trying...
