    Me too! I just sent you a friend request. I'm a 44, stay at home of five children, ages 6-17. I have been married for 20 years. It's time for me to get my health back and feel good about how I look. I have been in and out of Weight Watchers but never connect with the other members because I've had kids with me. I'm hoping to find success through MFP with online support.

    Hi I will lige to help motivate and support anybody!
    I'm also a single mom/dad. my kids are now almost 18 & 17 and since my divorce from a rather abusive relationship, i started to workout and get healthy. i stopped eating meat and couldnt get enough books/information on anything thay was spiritual, healthy , fitness,esoteric etc. ive always struggled as my ex not only became a dead beat but dropped off the planet fr his 2 beautiful children. i guess i was lucky because it made me stronger and find my passion in fitness lifestyle consulting. Not too mention i was able to be selfish and have the kids all too myself and watch them grow up. weve struggled livong at my moms in one room for many years, below poverty status and on welfare.
    I reallt cant believe when i look back 12 years ago how much I have made my body stronger and able to keep a positive outlook in spite of a traumatic past. yet, fitness & health saved my life. It gve me a real passion and i have since become a massage therapist, personal trainer/instructor and just last year i completed a 2 year degree in physical therapy assistant.
    therapy.
    I just joined fitness pal for 2 reasons. first, i want to prove to my clients that having realistic goals, recording, motivation and support is ESSENTIAL FOR LONG LONG TERM SUCCESS! And what bettet way than practice whay you preach. 2ndly I'm here to step out of my own comfort zone and get in competetion shape. i saw a poster on the wall at the gym last week for one and i said the hell dont i get it a try. I'm just as good as anybody else. And then i realized how much i have healed and how many women outout there i might be able to reach and help along the way. Isnt that part of life, giving back what you recieved.,
    so I'm just learning how to use this app and go online. I'm using from my phone which probably makes it look like i cant spell either b/c i cant see the whole screen! But please send me a request. our goals may be different but then again arent we do differ as individuals who can join forces and have a higher success attaining our goals!
    Enjoy your Sunday...I'm headed to the gym,;)
