in Introduce Yourself
My name is Charlene and I am a 28 year old single mother of 2 amazingly wonderful (and crazy busy) boys!!! I have never been a very fit person, my parents weren't very healthy eaters and I grew up to think fast food or something made of pasta and heavy meat was a normal meal. Vegetable were not in our vocabulary... EVER and don't get me started on exercise, in my household exercise was a video game. I have attempted many diets in the past, I lost 50 lbs on WW a few years ago, but didn't really understand that what I was consuming, though low calorie was not good for me, food and drinks filled with artificial sweeteners.

However I have learned such great new things recently about MFP, I have never counted calories specifically or had a work out regiment, nor a place to track all of that. I am excited for this new journey I am on. This is completely new to me, but I truly need a change. I have set all else aside in my life so that I can take care of me, it is my time to do better, to do something for myself. If you are someone who wants encouragement and is encouraging, please feel free to add me. I believe the more encouragement you have, the more people to keep you accountable, the more successful we can be. :happy:

    I am also a mother of two CRAZY but wonderful boys, 7 and 9 as of tomorrow. I have lost quite a bit of weight since the birth of my 7 year old but I really want to get healthy and fit. I will put in a friend request right now!!! We all need some great encouragement. So much better/easier when we have people in our corners.
