in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Ashley, I'm a mom of 3. I have been looking for ways to lose weight to get healthy, plus for our family vaca to Florida. Don't really have a support system at home cause my kids are young and my husband is working 12 hours from 11pm to 11am and sleeps most of the day lol. Hoping that MFP is going to help me get to where I want to be!

    Congrats Ashley on trying to get healthy. Having young children and a husband who works long hours is a recipe for eating ALL DAY LONG. I was a stay at home mom and had 3 boys. I think being lonely contributed to my weight gain...not to mention spaghettios, cheetos, and chicken nuggets. I am now in my 40s with only one teenager at home and 2 grown sons on their own. As my son says, "Its time to get a life mom." Learn from my mistakes, girl. Put yourself first so that you can take care of everyone else. It seems selfish, but it is really the greatest gift you can give to your husband and kids.

    Hi Ashley!

    I am kind of in the same situation. I have 3 kids ages 11, 5 and 3. The difference is my husband is trying to put weight on not take it off. So everyone else in my household is growing up and out and I am trying shrink. You are more than welcomed to add me as a friend as IO only have one friend on here. Good luck on your journey.:smile:
