Update: 54 yrs old and still going up and down with the weight. Kids are adults and now I am just concerned about my health and knees and hips. I am trying to be more active. Honestly the hardest part is the food. Two girls still live at home with their chips and bread and pasta.

2011: I am a 46 year old mother of three kids who all still live at home even though two of them are 23 and 20 years old. The youngest is 14. I am about 100 pounds overweight. Lost 50 pounds with Weight Watchers before, but eventually gained it all back, plus 30 more pounds. I am tired of being restricted by my weight, which seems to affect more and more of my life. It affects my clothes every day, my self worth, my ability to keep up with my kids, just being comfortable in public. For example, I don't want to have to wonder if I can sit on a weak looking chair or if I can sit on the floor and get back up without humiliating myself or embarrassing my kids. I am ready to get rid of it!
