I am new

Options
Hello I am a newbie and looking for some friends to help motivate me. I have a one year old son, a full time job, husband & a home to try & keep clean. I don't have much time to myself. I started this several weeks ago & have already lost 15pounds & it feels great. It is teaching me how to eat healthy - I had no idea how many calories were in somethings. My biggest downfall is a can of soda - I would drink them all the time thinking - it is a liquid can't be too bad... wrong!! No I am on green tea & feeling great (although I do have a Pepsi now & again). I am hoping to find some friends to help keep me motivated & who I can cheer on. Thanks, Jenny

    I am on the same boat as you and I just found this website a few days ago but I am in love because I see everything. There are things that I was unaware of..for me its pasta...how bad can it be right? Well yesterday I found out but with this website its okay because I see that even though I had a small bump I can't do it all the time. I would like to welcome you to this site and yes the people here really motivate you!
