Hi everyone;

I am literally new to the neighborhood. I just moved to AR from IN five weeks ago. My husband's job moved us. I do not know anyone here and now that the Holidays are over, I am finding myself lonely without all the holiday rush to keep me busy. I also just turned 50 on New Year's Eve, that one I am still adjusting to. I need to get back to my healthy eating and exercise which I use to be pretty good at, but since we have been in limbo for about 8-10 months over the transfer I have just stopped everything except eating. I miss my family back in IN and I tend to be an emotional eater. I have battled weight all of my life. I have weighed 250+ and had gotten to 138 at one time,(which was probably too low for me) I seem to be comfortable around the 170 mark, but with the stress I have let myself get back to 200 and need help and encouragement from someone to help be get back on track. I know I can do it, I just need that nudge. Thanks for listening

Hello and welcome to the site. You are in the right place as you wil find lots of support and motivation. A lil trick that has worked for me is posting posting posting. Good luck and I look forward to seeing you around.

By the way

hi, you came to the right place to get support! We have a 50+ thread and would love to see you there. It's called Golden Girls and they are great people and very supportive. Hope to see you there.

Hi!

Hello and welcome, kd50!

So you just turned 50... well... errr, I can't relate, BUT I can say that I know age is merely a number. I have a friend of mine who also just turned 50 but does not look a day over 35. Infact, we have several members who have hit the big 5-0 - enough to start an entire support group, located here: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=217

One of our moderators, Meg, is in her 50's and looks amazing... check this out: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84333

What I'm trying to say is... you can look amazing at any age... and I know you can get down to the size you want

welcome to the community!

welcome!!!
