Hello everyone I am new here starting today! I used to belong to my calorie counter and that site has to many problems... So I found it here! So far so good!

To let you know a bit about me, I am 28 years old Happily Married Mother of 2 (3). My husband had 3 kids when I met him I consider them mine as well, then we had 2 together. Their ages are 15, 13, 8, 5 and 20 months. 4 girls and 1 boy !! When I met my hubby I was a slender active waitress I weighed 125 lbs... Yeah I got comfy and pregnant twice and then I got to my highest weight of 181lbs. My doctor said that if I didnt change the way I was eating that I would have diabetes... So I changed I quit drinking pop which I would drink two 2 liters a day! And not so healthy foods... I started the South Beach diet on September 1 2008 now today I am just counting calories and watching the things I eat I am now 157.6 pounds !!! So my goal is 130-140 lbs!! I am getting closer.. I was stuck in the 160s for a while but finally it just dropped we had alot of stress this christmas vacation!

I hope to help some as well as have others help me in my journey to be healthy again!
I love to try new recipies so if you have any great ones send them my way!! Any tips or advise would be wonderful as well!!!

Thank you all and I cant wait to get to know you all!!!
