in Introduce Yourself
My name is Amanda and I live in a small town in central Indiana. Anyone in the area let me know. I'm a mom of four, step daughter 16, my son 14 and twins 9 yrs old. I've been struggling with my weight, oh forever now. I'm about 100 lbs overweight, but I would be happy to lose 50-75 lbs. I'm realistic people I don't want to be digusting thin, I want to be healthy.

I think my biggest obstacles are sweets and finding time to workout. I know this will sound crazy, but I'm going to school for baking and pastry art. I love to bake and decorate cakes. I have the worst time wanting to get my butt out of bed to work out and I'm running around like a crazy woman after work with kids. Sooo any mom's out there with suggestions on quick workouts and ways to help curb my sweet tooth that would be WONDERFUL!!!

I would like to network with folks that understand a busy schedule with kids, school, etc. i feel the more support and motivation the better chances for me to stick with it and lose this weight for good. I know it will probably take me a good year or so to lose this weight, but I need to do it not only for myself, but for my family.

I hope to hear back from you guys. Have a wonderful day...it's beautiful here.

    Hi, my name is Mark and wanted to let you know you or anyone can add me as a fiend for support. I am always looking for new friends. I have been on MFP for about a year and have used it off an on in the past.

    I never used the community section until now and can see how it will help.

    I wish you luck with MFP.
