Ready to get the rest of it off!!!!

I am a 40+ mother of three and grandma.  I started out at 227 pounds and in a size 18 (and a very tight 18).  I have managed to lose 66 pounds so far.  I want to lose another 31 pounds to reach my goal.  It has been a very long road for me.  I am hoping to finally get there.  I have learned so much along the way.  I have learned so many ways of eating healther that taste so much better than I had ever dreamed.  I feel so much better.  I came across this site and realized that I need to really work on finally getting off the rest of this weight.  I have all the tools and I exercise regularly, am just hoping to find people struggling with this same addiction and maybe we can encourage each other.  And I am always open to making new friends. 

what is the addiction that you suffer from? congrats on how far you've come already...you have a lot to be proud of!!

Hi quickangel,

CONGRATS on your successes up to now! 

I'm a new member and was drawn to respond to your post because your profile sounds like mine!

I am 45+, married, and mom to 1 teenager (no grandkids yet and that is a good thing!).  My top weight was 222.6 lbs about 13 months ago.  Since late last year I have been yo-yoing around 205 to 210.  Three months ago, after a very stressful time with family "stuff", I put myself, husband and teen on a healthy eating plan. 

I've lost 24 lbs and am now at 181 with a goal of 160 to 165. (20 to 25 more lbs.)

Along the way I have learned a lot about food and health but still struggle with getting complete and tasty meals on the table.  I am also not very disciplined with exercising.  I would love to hear your tips!

Maybe we can support each other in getting to our goal weights?
