I've tried this many times but never got involved with the message boards. Hoping that having a few friends with the same goals as me will help. I'm breaking up my goals into pre-Belize 25th anniversary trip (Jan 2022 - 12 lb.) and post-Belize (Jan 2023 - 25 lb. more).

I'm 51yo, live in CO, lightly active, highly stressed (haha), wife and mom of 5 (four still in the home, 2 with special needs). I work one or two days a week at the hospital as a CNA in oncology; I was a journalist before kids. These days, I love to sew, read, listen to audio books and enjoy nature (but always find things that prevent me from getting out there)!!

    Welcome to the message boards! I'm 38 (soon to be 39 next month) mom of 1 daughter. We live in SC and I've been on mfp what seems forever. I love to find friends that actually log in, comment on posts or post what they have going on in their own lives. I have PCOS & diet/exercise controlled diabetes so logging and tracking are a big part of my world. I also write a blog every 2 weeks or so with recipe swaps, food finds, etc.

    I do a lot of walking when I can and often try to get to Zumba a couple times a week. I have a YMCA membership but don't use the gym as often as I should.... shame on me. My husband and daughter are my whole world except when I'm reading a good novel, then I fall into that world and need them all to leave me alone. LOL.

    If you would like an active mfp friend feel free to add me.
