new to the area and trying to lose weight

I am from Texas but have been in pa for a year and a half. worst part of it is i live in a very close knit community where it iss hard to meet new people. saying that i was very depressed the 1st year and since i am an emotional eater you can only guess what happened. I am always looking to meet new people and have people to work out with cause sometimes i just need an extra push to get moving. I am a stay at home mother of a 15 year old boy and a 6 year old girl and so a lot of my time is taking them places or sitting at home cleaning and cooking. I have chose to get healthy and stay that way since i am at my all time heaviest weight and i feel horrible. I did this to myself and i am the only one who can fix it. Hope everyone has a great day!
