Starting over at 40

Hello my name is Rachael, in about a week I will be turning 40. I have decided that I need to take better care of my health both mentally and physically, so I'm starting to use this app again. I am looking for a couple of people that are willing to be accountability partners. I'm a single mom of two children that are 5 and 17. I also care for my 18-year-old nephew. I'm just looking to meet new friends who are also wanting to lose weight at the same time so that we can help support each other.

    Hi Rachael I turned 40 in February and like you wanted to start taking better care of myself, unfortunately life got in the way and if anything I neglected myself even more, but about a month ago I decided enough was enough and decided to change and put me first for once, 14lbs off and I'm heading in the right direction, please feel free to add me 🙂
