Hi!
I am a Mom of 4 kiddos (ages: 15,12,7,5) my hubby and I have been married for 17years. I have always struggled with my weight but for the past 2 years it has gotten BAD. Basically I stopped caring...
We have been trying to conceive our 5th child for over 2 years now and in those 2 years I have had 3 miscarriages in a row. I basically have been through every emotion out there and I am tired emotionally and physically.
I need to lose weight.. I need to get my butt in gear... I need to stop putting my life on hold... I need to make time for ME!
So here I am! :flowerforyou:

    Congrats on getting started! Realizing you NEED to lose any weight at all is a huge step. Welcome to the group! What kind of diet plan are you using or what techniques are you using to help you lose weight? I love myfitnesspal because it helps moderate everything for you. You can also download it on almost any newer phone these days (smartphones, etc). Welcome! :)

    I was thinking of trying to stick around 1,200 calories a day and start walking. I live in Vermont and the weather is still not cooperating but... SOON! :)
