Hi! I'm a 30something full time mom with 5 kids of my own and 2 step-kids. My weight has fluctuated with my pregnancies, but almost 2 years after the birth of my 5th (and last) baby I find myself fatter than I've ever been! I'm actually 30lbs heavier now than I was at my 6 week post-partum check up. DEPRESSING! I am 193 and would like to eventually be 130 again.
I am a major sugar addict and tend to binge on sweets when I'm bored. I'm attempting to try the "Belly Fat Cure" guidelines that a friend gave me, but I don't own the book so I don't know much other than the 15 grams of sugar and 6 servings of carbs a day rules. This is day one. Other than a withdrawal headache I feel pretty good! I made it all day with no pop of any kind. YAYY!! This is a really tough thing for me!
I've never actually dieted before so any advice, guidance and support is appreciated!

Hey

Browse around the site. There is some information about several diets on it. Also -- understand that you will need to be active at least 3-4 times a week. You can do this!
