Hi Leanne, I am a single mother of three. If you need someone to chat with, I am here! I know how hard it can be to work healthy meals in with kids, but you can do it!

I am 5'2" and am trying to get over 120lbs. I have always been very lean, and have a hard time adding weight. I am closing in on a healthy 120!

Me too! Trying to get some muscle built up!
