Been on this before weighed 125. Now weigh 138. Want to loose 10-15 pounds. Just finished phase 1 doing well but would love a friend around the same age (older mom with young kids who would like to loose same amount of weight) :)

Hi there.  I'd love to join you two if I could.  I am just finishing Day 1...good so far, but now I'm watching the Emmy's and I know I have those late night munchie cravings.

I'm 40, I work full-time for a school district, have a 7 and 5 year old, and I'm back to work in a week.  I don't know how I'm going to find clothes to wear.  I am probably 15-20 pounds over my "feeling good about myself" weight (but must have gained 5-10 pounds of that just this summer).  I haven't weighed yet, but everything feels tight and I feel miserable.  Why is it that before 40 I could do exactly the same thing and not gain this weight? UGH.  I just want to lose it, feel better again, wear clothes that I like, feel healthy, and KEEP IT OFF. 

So that's my story. I would love some peer support!

Hi, I hear you on the pre40 days ...it definitely takes work now! I'm happy to report that I've lost 3 Lbs so far. It might be water weight but it's encouraged me to stick to this and make good choices. I even exercised yesterday. How are you doing?

You are not alone. I have two kids: 10 and 3 years old (adopted) and I'm 53 which is a great age to gain weight! They say running around with your kids helps you stay young and thin, but it doesn't always work that way!

Good luck!

Barbara
