    Good luck Tasha! The first step is having a goal. So you are already on your way. I have two little ones too and want to be a good role model for them. Its amazing what they pick up on -- "mommy you eat Cheetoh's, so why can't I?"

    Hi Tasha,

    I am also a college student and have found it hard to balance school, work, and home, but I'm doin it! I've lost 24 lbs since I've been on MFP and all my friends are so supportive. Feel free to add me and we can share this journey!

    WELCOME and CONGRATS
    You are on a good start, remember that jungling a busy life (ie home,school,work) can make you think you do not have time. Dont get discourage remind yourself i always have time. Even if you have to get 15-30 in the morning and 15-30 at night of exercise. Remember everything you do counts. Walk up stairs instead of elevator. marching in place while watching tv. swinging on the swings when you take the kids to the park/playground. Take them on walks with you. Another thing keep low calorie snacks in your purse. they will keep you from making quick (wrong) choices when you are on the go
