Hello!

Today is my first day! I am a stay at home mom of four children, ages 13, 9, 6, and six weeks. I am ready to get my pre, pre, pre, pre pregnancy weight back. This is the first time I have actually kept track of what I eat. I am completely amazed at how quickly calories add up and all I have eaten is breakfast and a snack!! I look forward to meeting my goals and sharing them with everyone!

    welcome, i hear you i have a 10 yr, 7 yrs old and an 18 month old and i have been trying to get my pre, pre,pre weight back lol. this site is great, just looking at what you eat and all the calories makes you think twice about having that brownie or second helping of pasta( my fav) but so far it has been a great help when you stick to it. :wink:

    Welcome! I know what you mean about the calories adding up. Imagine my surprise when I realized my Quarter pounder with cheese value meal just about all the calories I should have had all day. Now I log everything!
