in Introduce Yourself
I have 5 children. I am interested in meeting more moms like me to learn from and maybe even help. Always interested in healthy, budget friendly, meals that feed many. Also interested in how other MOMs handle stress while dieting or all those B-days parties and family get together's without blowing your diets. I am really just looking for real life support from women that have similar lives.

    I am a mom of 5 but they are all grown up now! It's a job but we learn how to do it as we go along (with God's help)!

    I have 4 kids under 6. I feel like one of the big reasons I need a regular exercise program is for an outlet for my stress and also just to get a few minutes to myself everyday. Makes me a better more relaxed mom. I think the key to everything else, like handling parties etc is planning, planning, planning. I do so much better with everything if I am organized and have planned ahead. If I'm throwing the party I can make sure there are plenty of healthy options and if I'm going to someone's house I can always be the person that brings the veggie tray. Eating ahead of time is always a good option too so you're not starving when you get to the party and eat everything in sight. I also think for me anyway, this is not a diet. I am just living my life, I eat whatever I choose, I just make sure it fits into my calorie budget for the day. So I can have birthday cake or whatever, I just plan ahead for it. Hope that helps somewhat. Add me as a friend if you like!!

    Hi everyone! I've got 3 of my own, ages 20, 19 & 18. Raised them on my own. My boyfriend of 3 years also has 3, ages 18 (about to deliver her first), 17 & 13. Definitely understand having 'many'. Looking forward to meeting other MOM members. (I lost 120 lbs while the kids were still young and all at home -- 8 years ago while I was TOTALLY single, it can be done!!)

    I have a 4 year old, 3 year old and 11 month old. That many kids back to back was hard on the body ;) But I have gotten it back and am looking to make it even better. I have taught the older two that exercise is important to me and so is healthy food. They like to exercise with me and talk about healthy food. Still working on getting them to prefer the healthy food.

    I am a mommy of two, about to be 26 this month and i think my metabolism has died on me :/ I'm hungry all the time like legit every two hours, eat like a horse and am frustrated!!! Tomorrow will be my fifth day of insanity and I've actually gained two pounds back! :( Oh but heyyy I bought a new bathing suit today! One that I am comfortable in! Yay!
