edited October 7 in Introduce Yourself
I am a mom of two, a wife, and an assistant principal. I am currently a 181 pounds and I am sick of it. I feel terrible and my self esteem is at an all time low. I FINALLY realize that in order to improve I need to make major changes. So, here I am and I am looking for support! Can't wait to find amazing people looking for the same thing as me!

Healthier me is on the way!

    I'm on Day 2 and thinking this is the piece that's been missing from every diet I've ever been on... the accountability and the ability to reach out to friends near and far any time of the day or night. Feel free to add me as a friend!

    My first adult diet. I was anorexic as a teen and struggled most my young adult years to keep wieght on, now at 46 the tables have turned and gaining weight is now a problem. So here I am, on my first diet looking for support. This is a life change for me as arthitis has set in and I need a change not just to lose weight but to lose the pain that has nearly crippled me these last 5 years. I'm going Mediterrean which works very well for since I love to cook and love to eat, it's a great way to loss weight and eat healthy fats.

    Best to all of you!

    I just started this week too! I have over 100 pounds to lose! Thanks to quitting smoking and then having to take steroids due to an illness it seems I blew up over night!! I have not been active AT ALL in over 7 years. I joined a gym and this site and I am taking back my life!! I still love myself, how could I not? I'm awesome! LOL! But I really love the skinny, healthy me better! Time for THAT version of me to make a comeback!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU!!! :smile:
