Almost 40 and not so fabulous

I am the proud mother of two beautiful girls and 39 years old. Two pregnancies have left me with alot of extra weight and I have only added on to it. I want desperately to change. I have hit my "scary weight" of 200 lbs. In fact, I weigh 202. I want to get down to 170 by my birthday at the end of March. I have no support group...so I am hoping to find a group of people within this group that can relate and are willing to support me and get my support in return.  

I with ya!!!!  38 and half and hating all this extra weight!!!  Just found this site and I'm so excited!!!  I'm at 215 and want to get down to 180 by spring break...  I'm looking for some excellent support as well... feel free to holler at me!!

Hi! I totally am with you, almost 42 and really need to get this weight off and keeo it off in a healthy way.

Hi sassytexan.  I am 41 and also need to get this weight off and would like to keep it off.  I have high bloodpressure and would like to lose weight and get off meds.  I have started 24 hour fitness but have  not lost any weight.  I have been working out for about 5 or 6 weeks now.  How are you doing?  Have  you started losing yet?  If you would like any support just hollar at me. 

Hi tanasmom!  I am 46 and absolutely loving it.  My true weight is 125, I just have about 92 lbs. I will be taking off to get there!  I tell myself all throughout the day that "I weigh 125 lbs, I LOVE healthy food and exercise....." Get the point?  When my 22 yr old son died tragically 3 years ago, I totally quit trying, I just didn't care.  I realized that it is time to care now!  I love my family and friends, I feel good about myself, I have purpose.  I am focusing on what I have, and will have soon. 

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." - Melody Beattie
