    Do stepmoms count? I have a 10 and 13 year old step child along with a husband who works 3rd shift. Finding time to exercise is next to impossible.:smile:

    Heck yes they count! In my situation, I have an 8-year-old stepdaughter, but I'm her full-time mom. Her biological mother is worthless and has barely any contact, does not help support her, and I'M the one buying her clothes, helping her with homework, fixing her meals, and doing everything a mom does.

    Feel free to add me 2. I am a working mom of a 2 year old. I find it very hard to work out because she wants to be right in there and by the time she goes to bed I am beat to! I am so up and down in my weight. It is very hard! Good luck!

    Wow! A lot of working Mom's on here. I'm 25 years old and work 40 hours a week in a childcare center. I work with infants and toddlers. I have a 6 year old son that is a big part of my motivation to get fit!! Anybody is welcome to add me also. Motivation and support has helped me through some "down" dieting days. Thanks!

    You can feel free to add me! I still manage to work out a couple of times a week, but mostly just focus on my eating because that's all I have time to do. I have a 2 year old son, I work full time and I'm also a full time student!

    I am a 26 year old full time working mother. I work 10-12 hours, 6 days a week and it's a very physical job so I hope that it will also help with my weight lose but I have a 2 year old daughter and 8 month old twin boys.

    Hi everyone! I've already got the OP on my friends' list, but feel free to add me for more support! I work FT and have 2 daughters, almost 4 and 6 months. Some days just getting the basics done can be challenging. I've had to slip some workout time in during my lunch break, but as I get a little more fit, it may not be enough.

    You can add me, and so can anyone else interested. I am a single mom, 35 years old and I work fulltime out of the home and I also work out of my home in the evenings. Both are computer jobs, so I sit all day! My main motivation has been my dog, he makes sure I get up and get out to take him for a walk every day!

Balancing everthing is really hard, but I feel like I'm finally starting to hit a rythm on the days that I don't have my girls, The days that I do are a different story. LOL

    I'm a working mom as well with FOUR kids! It's a blended family so I only gave birth to two of them LOL. It's hard to manage everyone's schedules and still have time to work out which is why I finally broke down and bought a Wii. It's got lots of fun games that really get your heart rate up there and I can have fun and work out with my kids and they don't know their getting exercise.

    I wish that was an option! I'm divorced (getting one anyway), have 50% custody of my girls, and can't leave them home alone to go to the gym...Luckily I have an elliptical trainer that I bought a few years ago and can easily do workout dvd's in the morning before they work out.

    I'm a FT working mom with three kids 21, 18, and 7. I try to work in a brisk walk at work for a half hour and get on the bike in the evenings (20-30 min.) My seven-year-old likes to do the bike also, so its time we can spend together!
