    I am SAHM of 3 children. They keep me hoppin' !
  • SAHM of 2 children, full time student. I didn't think I would have the time to lose weight. I was wrong.
  • Do you guys find it hard sometimes, during down time, not to snack? Sometimes I walk to the kitchen and have the urge to grab something! Ha!!!

    Does a stay at home grandma count? I was a stay at home mom, then when the grandbabies started, I get to stay home with them now! How lucky is that! There is definately alot of temptation being home (alone at naptime!)

    SAHM - Florida - - I have been on here a little over a month - today is the 1st day that I don't seem to be able to walk past/thru the kitchen without getting something to eat!!!
  • I ran in a marathon relay a few weeks ago and when I came home, I showed my kids the medal and my middle (who is 4 said) MOM!!! You WON!!! Then my oldest (who is 6 ) said "no she didn't, it's silver. She came in second" :laugh:

    I am a stay at home mom of three kids (19, 13 and 9). All of my kids are in school but I keep other kids in my home. My daycare kids range from 1 years old to 4 years old. Some of my struggles with being at home are----snacking to much, eating anytime they eat, clean off their plates. I sit alot with them reading and playing in the floor, plus I am also on the computer alot. I think I am addicted to the computer. lol.

    When I worked outside the house when my oldest was little, I kept thinking....If I could stay at home I could keep the house clean, keep the flowerbeds cleaned out. I could exercise all the time. Well guess what??????? That stuff is not happening. I have been home since my oldest was five. My house better than it was, but it is not always clean. The flowerbeds would not be cleaned out if it were not for my husband and my mother. And, I do not exercise. There for a while, I did keep the tv on that FIT channel and watched all the exercises. lol. If all you had to do was watch, I would be a negative size 4. lol. I have brought Zumba dvds, walking dvds, plattes dvds, hip hop dvds. You name it I have brought it.

    I need to get up off my BUTT and do something.

    Well, I have vented enought for day. lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    If anyone wants to be-friend me feel free.

    Good luck to everyone.
  • I totally understand that! I started my TOM Saturday and I was an eating machine this weekend! What is it about it that makes you want to eat everything in sight??

    I am. A 7 year old boy. Happily unmarried, but after 8 years it would be nice :). I'd also like another baby, but I'm happy either way.

    SAHM - Minnesota!

    I have 2 boys, 1 at home all day, the other one is at school ;). OH! And I have dog too :). She helps me get OUT and move.
    It's really hard for me to not snack all day. And I'm a recent SAHM too. Before that I worked part time, but it always seemed I was so worn down emotionally from work that I didn't have the energy to do much else.

    This is very hard for me. I'm still working on it. I'm trying to just stay outside more. Or we spend a lot of time upstairs, away from the kitchen! :)

    eta: My kids are 8, 6, and 3. The two oldest are in school.

    SAHM in Ohio here. I have 2 kids in school now, so I'm not sure how much longer I will be at home. And resisting snacks all day is definitely a challenge! But I also have more time to plan and prepare healthy food since I'm home. So I guess it's good and bad. :smile:
  • I am a stay at home Mom of 2 kids, 8 & 6. Wish losing weight wasn't such a struggle...continuous battle.

    In CO, with twins :o) I find it hard not to taste their stuff as I am preparing it. Not because I want to but I don't want to give them something I wouldn't eat. Then of course they snack and I end up getting fed by them. I have been saying "No Thank You" often lol.

    Hello, I'm a SAHM to 2 little girls, nearly 3 & nearly 5. I live in Aberdeen, Scotland. I agree that there is so much temptation being at home all the time :( I often find myself mindlessly finishing leftover food or in the kitchen snacking. I'm trying really hard to stop it or log it. I have 3 mornings where both my girls are in nursery so I always go out. I either go to the gym for body pump or yoga or I go for a run (I'm training for a couple of races just now). If I don't go out I stay at home and waste my time or end up doing housework.
