Default New here and looking to give and get support!

Hi! I have never posted on this site but so glad I came to find it. I have been been looking around for a few days and it seems like it is just the place I need to be.

I have struggled with my weight pretty much all my life. I have lost over 100 pounds twice in my lifetime and the first time gained it all back and then some. This last time I lost 103 pounds and kept it off for a couple of years but now have gained over 30 of it back. I have to get myself back in control before I end up gaining it all back again.

I am a stay at home housewife, an empty nester as my only daughter got married a little over a year ago so I think I have been eating out of boredom and loneliness. My hubby is a truck driver and is gone from home a lot. I have been trying to exercise everyday here lately so I guess that is a start.

Just wanted to introduce myself and tell a little about myself and my struggles. Hope to get to know a lot of you on here and I can tell this is a very supportive forum.

You're an inspiration for managing to lose 100 pounds in the first place!

Welcome, and I look forward to seeing you around here. Good luck with getting back on track!

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on doing something this time when you had only gained 30lbs back and not the whole amount.
Are you able to get out of the house a little. Maybe a small pt job to fill up some time or do some volunteering? Might help with the boredom and loneliness.
Wishing you all the best!
