Hi my name is Stephenie I'm a 47 yr old mom of 4 adults now! 3 Grandbabies! I want to get some weight off so I can lower my blood pressure it's been sky high through this pandemic. I've been fighting obesity for all of my adult life! I weigh 268 lbs and I'm 5'4. I love sweets! Candy like sweetarts, double bubble gum! Currently I eat this candy so I won't eat or want stuff like cakes, ice cream, and pies. But guaranteed I'm consuming a lot of sugar. I live alone so I overeat a lot. No one holds me to a certain standard including myself! Time for a change. Losing weight could definitely help with a few of my underlying conditions by taking them away completely!! God forbid I get Covid - 19 before I become more healthy! Any tips? Thoughts? Positivity? Would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome and good luck! The program works if you stick to it! I dropped 65lbs in a year back in 2014-15 using MFP only to slowly gain it back by 2020 after NOT using the app for 5 years. Rejoined today! So I'm sure you will have success if you log everything and stick to the calorie deficit. Just don't stop being careful after you get to your goals :)

    Hi my name is Debbie and it sounds like we have a lot in common. I'm 50 years old and have around 100 lbs to lose. I'm looking for motivation and friends.
