Hi girls! Doing great with my exercise, but food is out of control this week! Too much stress and I am not dealing well. Got a good run in yesterday. Today was a walk with a little running thrown in. Calisthenics and circuit training! Lots of core work which is great because I am still so weak after the twin pregnancy!

Great job getting your exercise in!!!! Sometimes when our eating gets off track it is hard to find the motivation to work out.

Hi everyone! This morning I weighed in at 166.5 I've had the hardest time losing weight since my youngest was born. I blame it on lack of sleep (she'll be 1 next month and still isn't sleeping through the night!) but my eating habits aren't great either. My husband has a weird schedule, he works 8 days then he's off for 6. Its hard to stay on track when he's eating junk in front of me all day. Right now my main goal is to exercise 5x a week for a whole year! I've done it for about 3 1/2 months so far but I know the holidays and having family visiting will make it harder!

How's it going? Have you been able to get any workouts in with the family visiting?

I would like to join, but I'm not sure how. I'm a mom of two boys...ages 15 and 5. My weight as of this morning is 216.2, and my goal weight is either 130 or 135...I can't remember. I don't struggle with healthy eating. Rather, it is exercise. I'm working on it though...to make exercise my friend instead of my enemy.

Hi,
I am mom of 15mos old. I've had some success losing weight on my own but looking to take it up a notch still a ways from my goal weight. How do I join the group?

Can I join? I have one very active 8 yr old boy. Between working and meeting his needs (special)....I'm typically mentally tired and do a lot of emotional eating...Anyway, this month I decided to take charge of my calorie intake, resulting in a 8 pound lose for Dec....YES!! I would love to get ideas from other mother along this journey.

Hi there! Welcome to the group! My twins are 15 months as well, what a fun, but exhausting age!

@linagogirl Way to go losing 8 pounds! I totally understand the struggle with emotional eating! My 20 year old son has very severe autism and I reached my heaviest weight when he was having his hardest time! He's in a group home now, so I don't have the day to day care giving anymore, but still have plenty of worry. We just finished fighting the state in court for funding, which was super stressful!

I am back at it today. I have a run planned, also want to get in a core workout and some dumbbell weight work. We will see what the munchkins let me do today!
