Hello, just started back with MFP, was gone for awhile and now I'm back with a goal in mind. I have struggled with my weight since having 4 children my oldest being 15 and youngest just turned 6. My highest weight was 190 and me being only 5 foot that's a little much. I have lost weight in the past and have actually just recently found my poundage creeping back up on me. So here we go again. Hoping to shoo away the poundage and welcome back the me I know and love.

    Greetings! I just started today too. My weight has slowly crept up again and it's really making me feel like I've just lost control again. I just wanted to leave a reply and let you know that I'm going through the same thing. I even had weight loss surgery 10 years ago and I'm shocked that I've let myself get chubby again. So not good.
    Good luck! By the way, I'm 186. My short term goal is 160 for now. It will be good to get ready for spring/summer and buy some new clothes!

    Hi there! I am also new today. I'm 140 at 5" 3". I'm thick, not too overweight, but I'm not comfortable. I would like to be 125 so that's my goal. I'm hoping this will help me. I have sisters who are severely overweight and I am following their pattern. I've got to get control of it now before I get any bigger. I also have two kids, but they are 24 and 21. I have no "baby fat" excuse although... I do still use that excuse... haha. I'm hoping to keep in touch with everyone because it's so hard to do it alone.

    Hi...I am new to this also. I am 50 years old and am overweight. I live a crazy life of traveling for my job and I have not been paying attention to what I eat and when. That is going to change today. My daughter and I are teaming up together to offer support for each other. I have about 90 pounds to loose but I am looking at it as a life stype change and taking charge of my life again.

    Hey everyone! My name is Amy and I am 27 years young. I've been tracking my goals on MFP for a while now. I haven't lost too much weight because I wasn't really being serious about it but that is all going to change. My highest weight was 196. When I originally lost a bunch of weight I went down to about 135 but have since gained some back. Right now my weight is hovering around 150 and I would like to get down to 140. I also need to tone up as well. Hopefully this community will help to inspire me! Take care everyone!

    Ha! Too funny! Yes, the baby fat excuse is $$$. BUT... I'm with you... no more excuses. I want to make my 45th year my best year physically, emotionally, professionally - basically all the way around.
