Hi everyone,
My name is Monica. I'm a 27 year old mother of five (6 year old boy, 4 year old boy, twin 3 year old girls, 2 year old girl), full time online student, as well small time business owner (I guess you can call it that, lol). I have been overweight since high school and am very tired of it. The most I weighed was 208 and that was high enough for me. I have a hard time finding the time and motivation to work out, but I've got to do something!!!!! Wish me luck!!

Hi Monica! Welcome to 3FC! Good luck!

Welcome! It's awesome you are on here, that is a good first step. You sound very busy but it will be great for you to lose the weight, feel better about yourself, and I'm sure have more energy!

What have you tried so far? Calorie counting? Any specific diet you are adhering to?

Good luck to you!

P.S. Southern food is my weakness... I have to stay as far North as possible or I will feed like a hog at a trough!! :P

@Alicia, yes I finally made it :-P lol

Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I appreciate it! I don't follow any particular diet plan although I would like to one day eat clean for good, but first I have to get past my gag reflex where veggies are concerned! I just want to lose fat and build muscle. I think women with muscle tone are very sexy and my husband happens to agree, lol. So I'm mostly looking to do cardio and weight lifting and making some wisER choices where food is concerned although I can already tell you they won't be the wisEST choices :-) Not yet anyway.
