    Hi! I have LOTS more weight to lose than you do, but like you, I want to get healthy. The kids want me to play and I can't....so I am embarking today...again...to get it right this time. Maybe we can help each other along!

    Feel free to add me. 39 year mom of two very active boys (14 and 9).

    If you want to run, I suggest the C25K program. I recently graduated from it and it's awesome. I was NOT a runner before the program, but I most definitely am now! I started Bridge to 10K last night...so awesome!!!

    Good luck. :flowerforyou:

    You can add me as well. I'm new to this too and WE ALL can use some encouragement and motivation. This has got to be the hardest thing I have ever tried to do in my life but I WILL DO IT!!! Your post actually prompted me to seek help from others too. I wish you much success on your journey!!!! :happy:

    Good morning and welcome!! I'm a few years older than you (49) lol but I have still have 35+ pounds to lose. I log in daily and I promise you, the more support you have the better able you will be to work through the ups and downs of your day to day living. Feel free to add me, and this goes to anyone interested :) I just logged 40 days today and the support system I have with the friends I have made on MFP has given me more motivation than I could have possibly imagined! The days I didn't want to get up and move, my MFP friends would boost me up and I'd get up and move, thank heavens lol! I hope you find the support your are looking for :flowerforyou:

    Glad to have you aboard. I am 47 and still have about 25 more to lose. My kids are all grown up (25 and 23) but I run a Mother's Day Out program. This is the best place to be. I have found so many great friends and so much support! I don't know what I did before this site. Feel free to add me too. :happy:
