    I'm a SAHM too, and am experiencing lots of what you guys describe. Add me, let's ward off isolation together! :):)

    Are there any mums who like to bake/cook etc?

    How do you resist that whiff of banana bread and muffins coming from the oven or the apple crumble that has just finished toasting so perfectly?!! I feel like I'm not going to be able to resist these aromas for long and yet as a sahm I do love having freshly baked stuff on my kitchen counter for hubby to enjoy with his coffee and for the kids to nibble on every now and then.

    Willpower giving way slowly.....

    I am also a stay at home mom of 2 toddlers. I started calorie counting about 2 weeks ago and have lost some weight (probably just water). I need motivation and inspiration to start working out. I struggle finding the time and energy to work out. It would be great to have other mommy friends for support.

    I'm a SAHM to 3 kids ages 9, 7 and 1 1/2. Before kids I sort of struggled with my weight but nothing too bad. Gaining and losing the same 15lbs. I'd kill to look like that now!! The first two pregnancies I put on 70 lbs with each and didn't fully lose it in between. Finally I was starting to get in a groove and run and lose weight but then surprise, baby #3 comes along. I'm older now and it's so hard to stick to my calories with junk and treats in the house. I just don't have enough determination to stay away some days. I'd love to get more mommy friends! Thanks!

    I know Exactly what you mean! I'm an avid Baker. Or perhaps I should say was. I find it practically impossible to resist a hot cupcake etc. I've really had to cut back on my baking since starting my weight loss journey. It's sad. I hope once I reach my goal I'll be able to have a little but just keep an eye on going overboard.

    I'll be interested in any tips how to resist whole still baking.
