Default Hello
Hello
Have put on 35 pounds in the last 2 1/2 years. Worked the night shift at a stressful job. Could never get enough sleep during the day so I would snack on junk to keep myself awake at work. Went through a divorce during this time (very lonely time in my life) so to be honest, that junk also became a comfort emotionally for me.
Now I have a position working days. Have a great man in my life that is supportive. I am ready to get my act together and get back to where I feel good about myself and the way I look.
We started the biggest loser at work this week and I am hoping that, and reading other members stories on this site will motivate me and encourage me to be successful.
Thanks

Hey there, and

We have tons of spots to check out here - by eating plan (do you have one you're following?), age range, etc...so look around! You're sure to find one spot or many that feels like a perfect fit. And of course, if you find goal stories inspirational, look at our Goals and Mini Goals forums.

Then just jump in and get to posting. Can't wait to get to know you better!

Am trying to stay with a higher protein lower fat diet. Replacing the vending machine junk at work with fruits and vegetables. Better choices for my snacking addiction! (:
Will check out all the groups like you said.
Thanks for the welcome!
