Hi, I'm 42. Going through an ugly divorce. Stress has led to depression which has led to weight gain which has led to me taking a leave of absence from my favorite outlet: roller derby. I'm ready to start over and be the happy person I was last year. I miss my derby sisters and playing the game. As I lose weight, I'll get my agility and self-confidence back. Short term goal is 25 pounds lost. Long term goal is 99 pounds to get to healthy weight. Anyone out there wanting to help keep me motivated? Thanks everyone! xo

You can add me! I don't play roller derby, but I do mountain bike and am used to the occasional big crash. I think I would love to try roller derby one day! I'm also looking for some friends to hold me accountable. Trying to make healthier food choices!

Derby is one of the biggest stress relievers and a huge motivation to get in better shape and be around a "family" do't give up! And if i recognize your logo I may have played against you a time or two?

I play! Sorry to hear about the stress you've been under- glad you're wanting to return back to derby. I took a month off recently and it's been hard to get back into the swing of things, especially scrimmaging. I'm taking it one practice at a time though. Making time to workout off skates and get your diet in check will help big time!

Stay strong, and stay commited to this site. It will keep you on track. Diet and exercise are the key. You will look up, and the weight will be gone.

oooooh I think Roller Derby is awesome! I'm new here, too, and looking for supportive friends. Friend me if you like. I might not be as kick ass as you, but I play with kids all day. That's pretty hard core, right? ;o)

You can add me - I'm a fresh meat for Cherry City Derby Girls in Salem, Oregon. I've been on a plateau forever since joining (which hopefully has been licked - turns out I'm not eating enough), but working towards my lifetime weight loss goal. 5 down, 35 more to go.

Add me if you like. I did the whole divorce, feel depressed, eat to much and not give a crap about yourself and am working on making all the right changes. You just need time to find all the good stuff again.

Retired roller derby here. And went thru a divorce in the first year of skating. I started with Jet City in Everett, WA when it was in its infancy, then moved to Treasure Valley in Boise, ID. Retired when my mom was dying. Now remarried and an NSO. (but retiring from that this season as well.)
After the stress of my both of my moms dying in one year, I packed on the pounds. Hitting my down slope now!! Add me!
