Hello all! I am so excited to finally get to focus on ME! I love all of my beautiful children but they will be so happy to have a HAPPY (not depressed) mommy anymore! I am on day 3 of induction and bound and determined to be "bikini ready" by the spring/summer (it gets hot here early in Alabama) I would love to talk to other mommies that have just had babies (not nursing i know...) and are jumping into this way of eating. I guess I should tell a bit about me... I am a stay-at-home mom of 5 beautiful children (has anyone ever said of _ ugly children??? I would think not LOL) I have an wonderful supportive husband and we are very strong in our faith. I was at 120 before I got pregnant this time after gaining 50lbs and losing them after child #4. I am 5'3" tall and know that I can get there if I just focus and can have whatever support anyone can give me... I work out 5 days a week (monday & wed aerobics 1 hr then pilates 1 hr, tue & thur treadmill 30 min then pilates 1 hr, and friday its aerobics for 1 hr.) I just started this last friday and I'm donig well so far. I want to join some challenges and would LOVE to find other near me! I don't know what else to write about so i'll quit rambling for now... Hope to meet many of you soon!

Re: Just had my 5th baby and ready to start on the road to a new me!
Hi, bamamomof5
I'm not what you are looking for---I am older and my "kids" are all adults, but I wanted to welcome you anyway. I'm sure other young mothers will be checking in with you soon. I hope you stay around and enjoy the information, support and friendship offered here in ADBB.
Congratulations on your 5 beautiful babies! And I know what you mean about wanting your children to have a mother who is not depressed. Although I've only been in Induction for a little over 3 weeks, my moods have definitely improved since I gave up all those refined carbs.
Good luck on your journey!F/5'1"^^^ Start Date: 1/1/06

WOW, 5 kids! That's an exercise plan in itself! But you're doing extra workouts so that's even better! Great start! Keep it up!
