oops, i accidentally hit "post topic" before i was done with my post.


Hi, I am new to this. A friend introduced me to this site, and now I find myself addicted to the food and exercise diary, whereas before I never had a thought about what a calorie even was lol. I've set a goal for myself at the beginning of this year to be skinnier and healthier person, and I'm not just hoping to reach this goal, but I WILL reach this goal.
I am currently a stay at home mom of three little ones. I advocate breastfeeding, I love organic stuff, I love to cook and finding or sharing new recipes, and i'm a fan of natural remedies for sickness.
Hope to "meet" other people and moms who share the same goals or interests=)

    :smile: Welcome I have only been at this myself for a little over a week but good for you for getting started.
    I too am a SAHM Mama, of 2 beautiful kids. It can be hard to remember to put yourslf as a priority when you have babies and I find that MFP helps me to do just that. Hopefully it does you too. Goodluck with your journy

    Hi! I am also a stay at home mama!! I have to kids, 6 year old girl and a 3 year old boy! (and plan to start trying for #3 in about 9 months!) I too, love to shop organic, love to cook and get really excited to feed people! I love to "make over" meals so that they are better for you! I sneak veggies into my kids foods to avoid fights even though they are pretty good about eating them overall! (spinach is a favorite!) I scour the internet for home remedies before I will go to the pharmacy or call the dr. (if it's not an issue of course! lol!) I just started getting serious using this sight multiple times a day about a week and a half ago! I love it! So, welcome!

    I have four kids (19, 16, 9 and 6) and am somewhat similar in my ways of living...Breastfed for huge portion of my adult life and cloth diapered too. In fact, I owned a cloth diaper sewing business for 3 years! I loved it, but I got burned out and sold the business. I am trying to eat more organic foods, but I don't always do well with it. I take some natural supplements and do try to utilize natural or homeopathic remedies before seeking medical care.
    Good luck with your weight loss/healthy eating goals!!!
    How old are your kids?

    I am right there with you, I have 2 little ones. My daughter is 2 and my son is going to be 4 months old soon. I am very determined to lose weight, what keeps you motivated to workout and eat healthy. What types of foods do you eat?

    Hello, I am also a SAHM to an energetic 8 month girl. I decided to stop making excuses of why I can't work out and just do it. I love the site and I love the app on the phone. Good luck!

    Hi I recently joined as well! I am super excited about sharing with others and getting support. I have always liked the idea of homeopathic remedies, they make me feel like I would be putting to good use all these natural and safe goodies I already have in my home and garden! I have a few books but have only put maybe 2 concoctions together. You seem to know alot about it and I appreciate that quality! Feel free to befriend me, I look forward to hearing from you!
