Good Evening All! Today is my first day of Body by Vi and me being back on the weight loss bandwagon. I am 43 years young, married, with 6 children and foster children. The youngest is 2 and the oldest is 18. In addition to wanting to live a healthier lifestyle I am thinking about my 2 yr old son and my desire to be an active part of his life. After having a hysterectomy 4 years ago I have put on 50 plus pounds. I look forward to getting to know some of you and this journey we are all on.

    Good to meet you and kudos to being a foster mom! Motherhood in any form is the hardest job that any one can do!

    Welcome Stephanie! I love it here! This is my 30th day mark and as of now I have lost 10 lbs and 5 inches on my waist 4 on my hips! I love being able to just enter my foods and know exactly where I am at. It's a blessing for me!!

    Good luck my friend!!

    Stephanie--what a joy you are to give so much of yourself. As a mother of 4 myself, I admire you.

    I am new to MFP as well. This is only my second day. I hope to see a healthier, fitter, lighter me as a result. (The pic is of our first grandchild.)

    Wow, you deserve a medal! Being a mum can be hard work, but when there are six.. just, wow!

    Good luck to you, this place is pretty amazing, and incredibly easy to use.
