Hi- I've been lurking here at MFP for awhile- reading boards and posting every now and again. Looking for some support. All my in-town friends are skinny minis and don't quite get how hard this is... Anyone ?

    Hey! I'm so glad you posted. I need MFP pals too. I am 53 but mentally much younger (and look younger too) just want to get rid of these horrific 50 lbs that make me feel exhausted and uncomfortable. I know it can be done. I really like MFP better than the ww site. I think the calories database is awesome and i can't believe this is free! I support all of you out there trying to do this. I'm tired of being the fat girl at the party. I was once a size 3-5 and got a lot of flattering attention and could wear anything. But now i'm feeling embarrassed to even leave the house half the time. I don't want to be old yet. I still feel young.

    Let's DO IT people! I'm here for you.

    I've logged in here and there but need to get serious about this. I'm 38 with a 2 year old -- time to put down the bad snacks and lose this baby weight! I need to lose around 20 or so to feel better. I'm *hoping* to have another so I need to shape up!

    Good luck everybody!
