    I have 3 :) A girl who will be 13 next month, a 10 year old boy and a 4 year old boy. Married for 15+ years, work full time with a healthy commute, volunteer at an animal shelter, help with church activities and I try to be a decent mother remember all of their STUFF. Me time? I would love to know when that is!

    Seriously, though. I am trying to change, not only for me, but for them! I want more energy and to not feel self-concious if they ask me to take them to the pool or a waterpark. I am changing habits. I don't eat a lot anyway, but I tend to get overhungry and eat too much crap because it is there and tastes good! I think if I just keep myself a little more full during the day with good, healthy stuff then I won't be on the hunt for the next Reeses Peanut Butter cup in a random candy jar in the office.

    I have Crohn's Disease so making sure I don't overdo it with the fiber, etc. can be an issue.

    Glad to meet you all!

    Married with 5!!! Yes 5! 3boys and 2 girls. Boys are 17, 13 and 12. Girls are 16 and 10.
    You would think with all the running around I do, I should be dropping off pounds everywhere. NOT..LOL It's working from 8-5. Mon.thru Friday then little league football practice from 6-8 with games on Saturdays. Then its jazz, ballet, tap etc. For my 10 yr.old on Mon.and Wed. Plus Bible study on Wednesdays. Football games on Tuesday's for my 13 yr.old. Mime and praise and worship on Thursday and Saturday. Thank goodness no one wanted to play basketball. Which brings us into track season for 4out of 5 kids. Oops almost forgot a child at band practice..gotta go and support the 16 yr.old at her dance recital. Did I mention I still have to cook, oh wait..let me think..is it a fastfood night. Hubby works evenings dang still gotta cook!! I don't remember signing up for this..I think it was in the fine print of BEING A PARENT!! Where's my ME TIME?! LOL Now I guess.

    I have 5 also: 4 boys and a girl, born in that order. They are 25, 23, 20, 17 and 14 (15 on Sunday), and we are hosting a 16 yr old exchange student for the school year who is from Germany. The youngest two of mine still live at home and the oldest is back home temporarily after a fire caused him to have to move out of the apartment he and his fiancee share. She's staying with us as well. It has been quite the rollercoaster ride, raising this bunch, and there are challenges that we are still facing, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world.

    I do............I have six children (four boys 15, 11, 7 and 4) and two girls ages 3 and 11 months. I miscarried my baby girl before I had my four year old boy.............Since I started this plan (and have lost 22 pounds since November 4th), everyone in my household is on board and everyone is eating much healthier. I retained alot of weight after my third oldest was born and after having him I moved shortly to Florida where I discovered that I missed NY more because I walked everywhere.

    Additionally, I am a homeschooling mom and our family is very active in church and are very active in sports and music. Needless to say, I have made an effort to free up my time between 8PM and 9:30 PM to use the treadmill daily for 45 minutes. I find that I get a big boost of energy after 9:30.

    So nice to meet families on MFP :)))
