New from NC

Options
Hoping to make some changes in 2012. I need to stay away from McDonald's sweet tea, frappes and Starbucks! I have 3 children and a gr8 husband. Trying to look healthier and increase my motivation to do more. Would love to have some other mom friends here to help encourage (each other) along the way. Dads welcome too.:flowerforyou:

    Also from NC and made it happen and know you can too! Let me just say, think of how much money you could also save if you didn't buy those calorie wasted drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is hard to break those kinds of habits, but you can do it and will feel so much better once you have. Choose to eat healthy foods and drink more water, workout at least 2x a week and focus on each forkful, meal by meal, day by day; change will happen! Good luck to you!

    Thanks guys!

    I waste a LOT of calories on drinking bad stuff! It's a very hard habit to break. I'm just thankful I don't drink alcohol/ or smoke!
    Fake sugar gives me migraines so it's hard to find something to drink besides juice,milk, water....and SWEET TEA!!
