Hi Brenda. I'm relatively new here too and can't tell you how much these forums have helped me to stay on track. I work full time and have a family too so I know how hard it is sometimes to make yourself a priority when you have so many other things grabbing your attention. I've started making time for exercise when I can and am even trying to recruit my family to join me on long walks. I also find that FitDay is a tremendous resource as well and it really helps to enter in all the food so that I can keep track of the carbs and calories. Best of luck to you! Julie.
