Hi all,
Bit the bullet and joined the site after registering, heisitating but finally committing to actively managing my calories in and out.
What a great site!
I'm 48yo mum of 3 sons from Melbourne Australia. struggled with weight since my second baby.
The worst part is I've lost about 30kgs twice in the last 10 years and then put it back on again.
It's so disheartening and I admit to sticking my head in the sand for the last 2 years. I have avoided scales and mirrors and called an uneasy truce with weight loss.

But my middle son has been on medication and put on 12 kgs in 6 months. So I have been truculently kicking empty coke cans around in the car park outside this building for the last few weeks while he joined the site :)
Finally decided to get on with it especially after seeing my 16yo son manage his food intake. He went for a 2.5 hour bike ride again today. What's a proud.mother to do but knuckle down And commit to giving this a try too.

Looking for friends - anyone available for mutual support.?

    hey
    you can add me if you want!!
    I think is great that your son in getting healty and that he motivated you!! is so much easyer when family do it together!
    I have tried to lose weight many times but only now that my mom and dad decided to lose weight that I could start... cause before it was Pizza everynight and after a month or too of diet I end up back to eating too much... but now that we are doing together we keep each othe in check!!

    keep going with your diet! you will do great!
