Hi Stephanie! Welcome! My name is Melissa and I am very new to the group. I have 3 girls and 3 step-children the older step-children are out on there own. The last six years have been somewhat of a struggle for me. I work full-time in a restaurant as a service manager and I love food. I have in the past 2 years cut back on my intake but I believe my metabolism is slowing down, so that means I have to work harder to burn off. I now realize it is now or never and I am going to start with attain shakes and go from there. I have at least 25 pounds to shed but really could stand to lose 35. My childrens ages are Bobbi Jo-30yrs, Matt-25yrs Hannah-20, Courtney-17, Sarah-11, and Katie-9. We have had a lot of fun through the years and many more to come. I am 38yrs and not getting younger, so it's time to get healthy to be healthy later on. I am working with group of moms that are fantastic and relate to the same issues everyday. Maybe we can chat later on some time.
Welcome to the both of you. I hope you both have found a way to motivate yourselves and if not that is what we are here for, keep us posted on what you try or what you have tried as we are all in the same battle together. I look forward to hearing about your girls goals. Good Luck.
