Default Hi! 60 lbs to go.
Hi! I am 44, married with 4 kids, 3 of which are now living out of the house and I am unemployed (anyone hiring??! )

Over the last 10 years the weight has just slowly piled on. I used to be pretty much active and fit. I was in the Army and loved to exercise. Later I went back to college and got my degree in nursing. Somewhere in there after two kids and tons of stress, the depression came back (been fighting with this since I was a teen). With the depression came the weight. So depression and eating became my life. I stopped working, stopped exercising and became a hermit. I put on 75 pounds.

Last month I started exercising just a little bit at time. Now a month later I have lost 11 lbs and am able to do 30-40 minutes on my elliptical.

I came to this forum to find others like myself that not only have struggled with the weight but are battling depression also.

I would love to find a weight loss buddy or two. So, if this is you, great! Let me know!

Otherwise, "hi!" to everyone and I'm glad this forum is here!

Linda

Welcome Linda!

I'm new to 3fc too & also from Florida. I can totally relate to being stressed due to college. Thats how I gained my weight.

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Welcome Linda! Check out the depression forum here, there's so much great support. You may also want to join the 40-somethings, and possibly you'd be interested in a challenge? You've come to the right place for understanding and motivation!
