in Introduce Yourself
I have been doing this about a month, but it would be so helpful to have people to talk to. My poor husband is tired of hearing how many calories are in his food!
I am a Mom/ Foster Mom. I home school my 4 kids. I love Jesus.
This site has been a turning point for me. By God's grace I can do this!

    I'll be your friend if you don't mind I'm only a high school student! And about your husband: That's so funny! I can't help but to tell my family how many calories and fat grams are in their food too!

    Well I'd love to help motivate and encourage you! I'm a mom of 4 also. I'm also a certified elementary school teacher although without a job sadly at the moment so I'm enjoying being at home with my little 4 yr old. =)

    27 pounds isn't that much when you have 160-170 to lose. Ugh, I'm working at it! :) So thanks.

    Haha my husband is getting tired of hearing about calories as well. We were celebrating our first anniversary the other night and I wanted to go to Applebees because they have the "under 550 calorie" menu LOL! I am a new mommy only two months and I am desperately trying to get back into my pre-pregnancy jeans (Almost there) YAAY! I love Jesus too, have a heart for orphans/foster children, and plan on home schooling as well. Seems like we have a lot in common. :-)

    I am a SAH mom of 7. I would like to one day adopt a child that is deemed "unadoptable". My husband so far is not sick of me talking about the amount of cals because he is doing this right along with me. You can add me as a friend if you would like. Oh and I though about doing homeschooling but at this point my children are in a really good school so for now I they will go to public. However if the schools get any worse then I will home school.

    I'd be happy to be your friend too! I could use one myself:smile: I do the SAME thing with my hubby! And now I've got him asking me if this or that is "fattening". I am trying to make small changes instead of dieting from here on out. The last thing I want is to make hubby as concerned with food as I have always been. Being that concerned has not helped me at all and I want to set a better example than I have in the past. Good luck and God Bless!:flowerforyou:
