Hello, My name is Taisha,

I am a parent of 5 children who is having difficulty losing baby weight after my fifth child. Looking for support and advice during the time that I reach my goal weight of 160 lbs. I hope to be able to help other in return to my success story. I would not mind any cheat sheets as well. LOL:)

Don't quit.
Don't make it any harder or more complicated than necessary.
Keep trying different things until you figure out what works best for you.
