This is my first day using this site. I am a mom of 3 - with quite an age span ( 1 yr old, 10 and 13) . Tired of starting , stopping, procrastinating etc.... Find myself always saying - oh well - start again tomorrow - because I have ZERO willpower when it comes to food. And Ive learned that I am an emotional eater.... bad day? have a cookie. Tough week ahead? have some chips... forgot breakfast? stop at tim horton's on the way to work....argh !! NO MORE I am setting my mind on small goals ... 20 lbs to start. Overall goal 85 lbs to lose.

I find other people's progress motivating !! Anyone interested in supporting each other through this journey ?

    I am just like you, start/stop...repeat. I are ready to do this now! I am only 5'1 and currently 200 lbs. Just started yesterday. I'd love to keep each other motivated on this journey and share our success. Good Luck! WE can do this!!!

    You can add me if you'd like. I've lost 15lbs so far (although that is questionable depending on how my scale is acting), but have 55-60 left to go. It's not easy, but just seeing the first results and overall how much better it is to be healthy is a great motivator...and when it isn't, that's what mfp friends are for =-).
