Hello all. I'm jlynn and I'm an almost 29 (my bday is tomorrow) year old mom to six, and I'm starting my new low carb lifestyle. I'm excited and feel very motivated. I'm experienced with this woe because I tried it a couple years ago. I'm a definite sugar addict and crave and frequently binge on carbs. But no more. I'm gaining control. I also will begin an exercise routine too. I'm grateful for this forum and know I will be helped with all of the support.


Jlynn

Welcome! Happy Birthday! And congratulations on giving yourself the best gift possible -- a WOL that will help you be strong and healthy, full of energy to handle those young'uns ... good grief, did you say <B>six</B>???

You'll find lots of support and encouragement here. Glad to meet you!

Welcome!

Six??? It's all I can handle 2.


You might want to start a journal in the My Journal/Bootcamp section of the forum. It's a great tool.

Hi Jlynn! Welcome to Low Carb and also Happy Birthday!!
I'm a mother too so congrats on that too!

Thanks for all the support. I'm excited to get to know all of you. I'll be starting a journal later today and a gym log. This is an awesome website. I just got back from IHOP and started my low carb birthday off with a ham/cheese omelete. I have about 40 pounds to lose to get back down to my goal. After giving birth 6 times in the past 9 years I've put on quite a lot with each baby and always carry over a few pounds from one to the other. My 10 year anniversary is in 4 months and I want to be down to a size 8 by then. That is what I was when we got married. I feel good and determined to do this. thanks again!

Just keep going and don't let it worry you though.

You've made a good discision! My b-day is also comming. I too am giving my self the gift of better health after some major relapse.

Welcome Jlynn,

You've come to the right place for support!

I don't know how to do all that fancy 'happy birthday' stuff, so I'll just wish you a Happy Birthday!! It's still heartfelt....

I would think cleaning up after and caring for those kids of yours would be enough exercise I know cleaning up after my 3 boys is a full-time job.

Congrats on being so motivated and determined. See you around the forum!

ps--I was shocked when I first learned about the pancake batter in the omelets Guess it's to puff them up and stretch the more expensive eggs with cheap batter .
