New around here

I have 7 kids and have decided to get serious and lose some weight! I had twins 19 months ago and figure I can't blame them for my weight any longer. I am just starting out trying to cut my dr pepper and eat better. I know it will take time and I am ready to be patient and make it happen. I have always taken diet pills and this time I said nope I am going to do it the right way :) My oldest will be a senior next year and I said I will NOT be that fat mom her Sr year! I am ready to do this and hope to find some friends to help me along the way

    Good on you girl! Love the attitude and I can relate to the driving force of your children...not having twins because that isn't biologically possible :smile:

    You can add me!! I've got 3 boys my youngest is 9 months. I've just started losing weight and it's exciting to see the progress. I stopped drinking sodas over 2 years ago, I can no longer drink sodas because they just taste nasty. Its hard at first but worth it. It's extra calories that you don't need and all the terrible ingredients. Fresh food and water is the best way to go.

    Thank you all for the encouraging words! I know I will feel Sooo much better it's just sticking to it. Yep I have lots of kiddos lol we were done at 5 and my husband was fixed and a year later we found out we were having twins. I had just lost 30 something pounds was feeling great and then boom lol I would not trade them for the world but it is definitely a much busier life now. I will definitely be adding y'all because I will definitely need support to make these healthy lifestyle changes:)
