I've made some big mistakes, but I've learned from them, and I feel like I am exiting 2019 as a much better, stronger person. Lessons: improve work/life balance to invest more time in family, re-assess ambitious career goals, be consistent, be more patient with myself.

You can add me! Best wishes on your MFP journey.

Petty reason: I won't back down. There's no easy way out. My weight is now free fallin'. Coming down is the hardest thing. (Oh, I thought these were TOM Petty reasons...)

Feel free to add me as well. Here for mutual encouragement. Lost about 37 pounds so far and in a good groove, but always worried about falling off the wagon. We've got this!

Hi everybody, I'm just getting started with MFP, so the timing is great for me with this challenge. I'm 41 years old, father of six year old twins, and motivated to live a healthier lifestyle to keep up with them. Challenges include a high stress, mostly sedentary job that consumes me 24/7. I feel guilty exercising as that…
