in Introduce Yourself
I'm a biological mother of four and a stepmother of three. I have health problems that cause me to gain weight. But I am not happy with it. I would like to trim down to look better. I would like to be beautiful in my wedding. But more importantly being overweight in my family is very dangerous. i would like to teach my children to be healthy by setting an example. This is the most i've ever weighed in my life when I wasn't pregnant and it's extremely upsetting!

    Running around after 7 kids should help. Watch your intake and you should do fine. :-)

    So I've lost 11 pounds since I've begun here. Most of it was water weight but still... I eat under the 1200 almost every day. My sister in law says thats way too little. But I am not hungry enough to eat more...
