Hi, today is day 1 of trying out this website. It's also Day1 of starting to change. I'm hoping to find others to support and that would be willing to support me.
I have four kids and the motivation to excercise is ZERO%. My mind wants to but the body sits on the couch.

    This is an AWESOME place to be! If you have a smart phone, download the app, too! It has a bar code scanner that comes in EXTRA handy.

    Feel free to add me if you want!!! :-)

    Welcome to MFP! You have taken the first step and that is realizing that you need to make a change and joined MFP. I have 4 kids as well, so I know how hard it can be to get workouts in and eat right. Feel free to add me and happy thoughts to you as you begin your journey to a healthier and better you!

    I am starting today as well. Good Luck! I had my daughter 5 weeks ago and I need to lose these 50lbs. Maybe we can motivate each other, I am going to start with walking and go toward running. Where in the US are you?
