I am new here. Just looking for support to help me lose 60 pounds and get myself back into shape.

I'm 47 years old and am a single parent with 3 teens.

My biggest issue is probably meeting my emotional needs with food. It's just easier sometimes!!

Looking forward to getting to know you guys...

Welcome, Jan, and best of luck to you!
Be sure to read the stickies for tons of helpful info on diet and exercise.

I am also older...I was 49 when I started my weight loss. I can tell you that even though we are older and our metabolism has slowed...you can do it. It just takes working that much harder. I found that I could not lose thru healthy eating alone, or by exercise alone. It took both to create results. And, it continues to take both now to maintain my 40+ pound loss.

The biggest thing to remember is that YOU are worth the time and effort. You need to do this for yourself and for those 3 kids of yours!

Good luck...hope to read of your progress!!
