I am 46 years old and the Mother of 5. I have three boys and two girls. I only have one, she's 16, left at home, so I have decided that I now need to work on me. I put on weight with each of my children and did not take any off leaving me with about 150lbs to lose. Not sure how I let it go for so long and didn't realize how bad it was. I have recently noticed that my weight is beginning to effect my health so now I desperately need to change my lifestyle. I am motivated and know that I can do this with the support of friends who are facing the same challenges.

    Hi Debbie! I'm Suzi & I have 5 kiddos, too! I've put myself on the back burner as well, as many of us mothers do - and now I'm looking at shedding 74 lbs. I just started this website Friday, and I'm already addicted!! It's fantastic for making us accountable! :) Good for you for making the decision to take care of you! If you'd like, add me as a friend - I'd love to cheer you on! :)
