  • Hello everyone...

    Hi everyone..my name is Jennifer. Im a single mom with 5 children. Yep, five of em!! Im also an Asst Manager/Computer Tech and I take online classes after work. Very busy person!!

    Ive always went up and down with my weight since i can rem. The most ive ever had to lose (that is until now) was about 20 - 30 pnds and could usually do so without much trouble. However, since my divorce 4 yrs ago ive had a lot of issues lately with my weight. When my husband walked out i was 5 months pregnant with our son and although he was born healthy (thank god!!), i wasnt so healthy. I lost a TREMENDOUS amount of weight due to stress and when i was finally able to move on (after about a year), i started putting the weight back on. :anger Well, you know what they say about losing weight fast, we tend to put it back on plus more when its lost under unhealthy conditions. So now im the biggest i have EVER been in my life. Most people assume that its because i have 5 kids, but believe it or not, the weight i gained with all of them i lost with no problems. Because my life is busy, i dont have a lot of time to prepare foods and have ended up doing the fast food thing alot, never drink water, always pepsi...etc etc.

    Ive had the book for awhile now and ive read it just never really given it a try until now. Im tired of looking the way i do and after reading sooo many posts on here about how this has worked, i have to at least give it a shot.

    I look forward to getting to know all of you better and losing lots and lots of weight!!!! :icondance :icondance

        Welcome to the board, Jennifer!

        Wow, you've had a tough go of it. But I'm sure your kids bring you lots of joy. We're expecting our fourth and my wife wants one more (I think she's nuts honestly). You'll get all the support and motivation you need right here.

        Good luck!
