in Introduce Yourself
I am looking for other moms who know all about the hectic life we lead. I have a 4 year old boy, a 2.5 yearold girl, and a 8 month old baby girl I am breast feeding. Breast feeding, by the way, has not done me any favors what so ever. Please add me. I get no supportfrom my family or friends. More importantly, I need new ideas and a food critic that can help me fine tune my eating habits. Please and thank you!

    Hi, I have 4 Children. They are 13 year old girl, 14 year old boy, 15 year old girl,and a 16 year old girl. My husband calls me a stay at home mom but they are all in school LOL. I know all about the hectic lifestyle (as soon as school is out that is). My Fitness Pal has worked well for me thus far. I am down 35 in the past 3 months and 50 total since Jan 1st. My mother has many health issues as a result of her weight and my sisters are struggling as well. It is a lifestyle change that I am going to struggle with for the rest of my life, but I want to be around for my children and husband. I am always looking for more support.

    Hi! I am a mommy of 7 ages 8 down to 1 year old twins that I am still breastfeeding. I also homeschool the eldest 4. Plus, we travel a lot because of my husbands work. I get the busy thing. I don't know that I will be the greatest example of what to eat. I love pasta and pizza and have them frequently. I love fruits and veggies too. I figure as long as I am under my calorie goals its good. Feel free to add me if you want someone who will cheer you on as you work towards getting healthy.:smile:

    A little baby weight history. I gained 80 with my first, 25 with my second, 40 with my third, 50 with my fourth, 45 with my fifth, and 55 with the twins. I always try to get the weight off before the next pregnancy (it doesn't always happen that way). I have come home from the hospital weighing what I did going in (not quite sure how that is possible, but it happened more than once. ) I have to work it off, but I don't want to be overweight and unhealthy and unable to keep up with my children so I push and make it happen. I am now about 6 or 7 pounds UNDER my wedding weight and about 3-4 pounds away from my goal! It can be done it just takes work. :smile:
