Hi Everyone! I am so glad to be here and very excited to get going on my journey back to a healthy me. I am a SAHmom of six children ages 6weeks to 12 years old(3girls, 3boys). I feel extremely blessed to be a wife and mom but I haven't always taken the time that I need to treat myself well. I actually like to exercise so that has been easier for me each time that I have attempted to lose the weight. Making bad food choices seems to be a bigger issue.

I am ready to make a change now. For the past 13 years, I have been pregnant or nursing almost every one of those years and well that sorta hinders weight loss LOL! I am looking forward to getting to know others here. I know that I CAN do this because I read the amazing stories of others here everyday.

    Welcome and congratulations on your decision to take control of your health! 6 kids - wow, what a blessing! MFP is the best place to be to learn to eat better, make better choices and the thing that I've found to be the most awesome... I'm never hungry!

    Can't wait to get to know you better!

    6 kids wow must keep you busy. I only have two but know what you mean about being pregnant or nursing forever. I've been doing that for over 4 years now also, Im still nursing my youngest.

    You will LOVE this site, great tips, the diaries help keep you on track and great people to encourage you :)

    Good for you! I am also a SAH mom (5 kids ages 4-14) and I have found that the more I invest in quality activities for myself--like eating right and fitness and continuing education--the better off we are as a family. This site is so helpful and everyone is very supportive. Good luck and keep at it!
