Newbie here -10 St to lose... help

Hi,

I've been overweight all.of my adult life. Lots due to eating, but I also have autoimmune illnesses which effect my metabolism and mobility, and suffer with depression and anxiety.which ofcourse, doesn't help.

I'm now 44 & I'm scared, I'm behind scared actually, and I need to do something now about it. ( not that I haven't tried many times before).

I used to be the life and soul of the party, used to be an all England dancer and figure skater, and I want my life back.

My 13 year old daughter has started to show worried about how she looks etc ( she isn't over weight at all).

Any help, tips, encouragement would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Welcome! I know we can do it. I'm 40 and I need to get my figure back as well, moreso for my health, energy level, and pain management, than anything else. I can hardly believe what good of shape I once was in, and now how far I have to go. One day at a time! I had so much success with MFP in the past, and I simply logged everything I ate. Hahah People hear that and they back away, but it's the truth. If you're ready to get 100% accountable with everything you put into your body, it will work. :)
