New to MFP! 36 yr old wife & stay-at-home mother of 4

I joined MFP yesterday. Would love to have some friends to chat with. I am a 36 yr old wife and mother of 4 children. I'm a stay-at-home mom working on my RN degree (currently an LPN). I've had 4 c-sections so my tummy looks horrible. I plan to count calories and do the 30 Day Shred (ordered yesterday). I currently weigh 166 lbs (yesterday I weighed 168 lbs). My first goal weight is 150 lbs. Right after I had my 4th child (19 mths ago) I weighed less than I ever had (152 lbs). I felt fabulous.....even though that seems like a high number I was pretty thin. I'm very upset with myself for gaining weight. So, it's time to take control.

    We all know what to eat, that we need to exercise and drink lots of water. MFP adds the community and accountability aspect that I was missing. To me, that has made all the difference so far.

    Welcome!
