Post newbie on board

okay, so I am praying that this is a way to hold myself accountable in this overwhelming venture of losing weight. How did I get here (here, being 50+ overweight)? I am a 46 year old mother of two young boys (9 & &), a great husband (who has recently lost 40 lbs). I am 5'1, barely and weigh 178 lbs! That is alot for such a short person! I am wondering, do I follow the 40 something group or the 5'2 and under group? Maybe I will dip into both? We will see. Either way, I intend to log in daily just to see what is happening here. I might get brave enough to post some pics soon--that should be motivation enough! My goal is to lose weight to regain my confidence. I love to dance, and have been doing so for many years! My group of adult women perform at various functions and recitals, but because of my weight...my confidence in my favorite hobby had taken a nose dive. Therefore so has my performance! ugh! I want my boys to be proud of their mom and I want my husband to see the new "old" me!

Welcome!!! I totally understand where you are coming from! I have been a competitive swimmer most of my life (8-18 years old) I have never been super skinny but most of the time very fit... I then met my husband and got married and then quickly got pregnant and just completely lost myself and my body... Now theres noooo way I would be seen in a swimsuit :-( And it makes me really sad that my weight is affecting a HUGE part of my life (swimming)! I really hope you attain your goals! :-)

thanks...the encouraging words are helpful. I am so there with you regarding the bathing suit! I feel the same way about putting on yoga pants to go to dance class...it seems nothing looks okay! But I must press forward. Good luck to you too!
