I am a 42 year old single mother of 3. I've been on the weight loss see saw for about 10 years now. At one point I was able to lose 90 lbs, but after suffering from depression for a year, I gained it back,and then some.

I didn't get serious until a couple of weeks ago when I saw what my bad habits were doing to my 3 girls. They are getting to the point where they are not overweight, but 1 of them is hitting obese. Its my fault, and I can't believe I allowed this to happen. It started because whenever I made food, 2 out of the 3 always complained, so it was easier just to always eat out, then to stay home and cook.

After I saw my 13 year old sit on my bed and saw how wide her butt was, I couldn't believe it was all my fault she had gotten that way. I am motivated for them and for me....but sometimes my motivation falters, and I know I need a community to help me stay strong.
