Losing weight-life long roller coaster

  • I'm a 55 year old gramma and have weighed as much as 200lbs and as little as 120lbs. Just got so tired of the roller coaster. Have an extremely busy and stressful life so following a diet doesn't work well for me. I'm a late night eater and use food for comfort. Know all the ways to lose weight but have no motivation. I need a support group but have no time for meetings etc. Thought I could be a part of a group on line and maybe get some support and hopefully offer some to others. I do not own a scale. I don't care to be really thin. I want to lose enough weight to feel good in my skin and my clothes and I want to improve my overall health. Thanks for accepting me into your group. I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you here.

  • Welcome Gammalouie!! I too share a common goal with you of wanting to feel good in my own skin and clothing as well as improve on my health overall. You're taking steps in the right direction for you and that's so wonderful and I'm proud of you for taking time for yourself! It's not something most of us are used to as we tend to take care of everyone and everything else well before ourselves. I look forward to seeing more of your posts and again, welcome!!
  • Hello and
  • Welcome gammalouie ! You can do it !
  • Hi and -
    Understand how life can be hectic but even though I am I great procrastinator and not a structured person. I Definitely do better on a Structured program.
    I would be falling off the Wagon on a daily basis without a well formulated program to follow.
    My schedule bounces back from working nights 12 1/2 hours plus a round trip commute of 90 miles,kids,DH, Caregiver for elderly parent, so I need something that is specially designed for to make losing weight as simple as possible.
    I use Ideal Protein and find this best fit for me.
    Good Luck on your weight loss journey and keep us posted.
