in Introduce Yourself
Hi. I joined the group yesterday. I am a stay at home mother of 4 daughters. My youngest turned 3 a few weeks ago and I thought it's about time to get the weight off again. I was in the process of losing weight when I found out I was pregnant with her. I had lost 100 lbs on my own with diet and excercise but gained 83lbs during pregnancy and it has stuck with me for 3 yrs. I am determined this year to get the weight off. I did it once so I know I can do it again. Just have to stay focused. Feel free to add me/msg me anytime. It's always nice to have a support buddy. Good luck eveyone with reaching their goals! :)

    Hi My Name is Danyel.. I am also a Mother of 4. My youngest is 8. So he is really active and I figure I have to get myself in great shape in order to keep up with him. I recently joined the YMCA to help with my exericise. I am just trying to find ways to eat healthy and cut out sugar. I gave up soda. I am just taking it day by day in order to get where I want to be.
