edited October 2024 in Introduce Yourself
My name is Jennifer and I am a 23-year-old mom of 4 from OH - I have a 5-year-old son, a 3-year-old son and boy/girl twins that are almost 15 months old. Their dad and I have been together for almost 7 years and we got married last year.

I have been overweight my entire life and I have always wanted to change but I've just never had much will power or motivation.... until now. I just recently found out that I am diabetic and that scares me to death. I found out about 4 months ago and since then I have been gradually changing my eating habits (following the diabetic diet) and I have lost 24 pounds so far. But I have a lot more to go -- I started at 368 and I am now at 344... so yeah, I still have a long way to go.

I joined this site hoping that it would help me stay on track and to meet some new friends that understand what I am going through!
