    First off, what an amazing woman you are! 6 kids!? I get overwhelmed with my two year old and a dog! Ha ha! Anyways, this is the site to be at. The ladies here are amazing and super encouraging. There is a wealth of information here that is absolutely free! Please feel free to write me anytime! I'm following a no refined sugar and low carb diet as of right now and so far I've had more energy then I have had all year! Its so hard to do and even with feeling better, last night I had such a rough night with cravings! Ah well! You are in the right spot! Much love and Merry Christmas!

    First, that makes you a strong woman-- 6 kiddos? I have a hard time keeping up with my husband and 8 yr old son! :)

    I'm glad you're here-- this site has way cool features and I use them even when I'm having a not so good day with my eating or working out (or both). For me, it's a never give up situation-- and I always look at it as I am and always will be a work in progress. It helps me to look at it as more long term. I take it a day at a time and if I mess up-- it's not the end of the world.

    Just hang in there when it gets rough. It gets easier.

    Wow, 6 kids!! I have two and can barely keep up! I am new here also, and mainly joined to keep a food journal. I have found that in just keeping track of what I eat has made me more mindful of staying away from the junk food.
    This is a great site for encouragement and information. You'll find alot of helpful topics and the people here seem very nice and encouraging! Good Luck!!!

    Jessica, I have twins too, my boys just turned 13 in Nov.. I don't have 6 kids but I do have 4. I have been trying to get back on track and i have been doing poorly. I ate half a pizza from Pizzahut last weekend. So I guess i'm not doing so well on the "healthy" choices! I did join this site yesterday, so I guess I want something to change. I will not be eating out for awhile.
    I think we all need support, it's hard to stay motivated especially when you are home all day like i am.
    A food journal really works. I use to write down everything I ate in one, i got tired of it. Online is better! This is why I joined. Good luck Jessica!! Hit me up, we can motivate each other.
