Starting over

I am trying to get back on track after a year + of not doing so well. I lost 60 lbs last time, but gained back 20. I hope to lose that 20 again along with another 40. I thought I would start fresh by starting a new account so I wouldn't be faced with my failures everytime I log in. I could use some friends to help me stay on task.

A little bit about me: I am 49 years old (50 in October). I live near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. I am married and have 2 children, both girls, aged 12 and 11. I am currently 200 lbs (as of this morning) and have a goal weight of 140. I belong to TOPS, and if I get down to 140, will have lost 100 lbs. That is my goal.

    You can add me as a friend as well. I am 49, 244lbs., have two children, and work full-time. I am starting over as well. I've been down the same road. I've lost 62lbs. and gained most of it back. This time I'm making a life change and incorporating exercise as a major part of it. I usually just diet and walk once in a while. Today I started a rigorous workout and it feels great. I look forward to sharing our triumphs and providing support and encouragement when needed.

    I've recently started... maybe a month or so. Add me if you'd like... I've hesitated reaching out to find 'friends' but it seems like there is the potential of a good support system/motivation! Good luck!
