    Hi, my name is Julie and I just started this week. Already I'm swinging like a pendulum from healthy eating one day.. to old habits the next. I can see I'm really going to have to get this meal planning thing down to make this work. I want to lose about 40lb total, but have 20 as my goal in June. I'll take and give whatever support I can:D
    Friend me too y'all!!!!

    I work full time and a mother of a sweet almost 3 year old girl. My son is 25 and lives with his wife, so I don't have to worry about him. So, I completely understand being tired and finding time to work out.

    I work about 30 hrs a week and have 3 kids (15,12 and 7). It can be hard sometimes to squeeze everything in. And then when I do workout I usually feel guilty for taking time for myself. :(- Feel free to add me if you would like to. :)

    I work full time and am the mother to 3 sons (ages 21, 19, and 12). My two oldest are away at college, so I work my butt off to try and help them have what they need for school. My job is stressful and does require me to travel, so I do that as well.

    I'm in the same boat...I just turned 37, have two kids (10 and 6), and work full time. It's SO not easy to find any time for myself, but I try to squeeze it in where I can. I do all of my workouts at home (I definitely don't have time for a gym!) and I focus on what I eat...

    Feel free to add me...I can totally relate!

    I am not currently working, but for 11 months out of my time on MFP I was working full time so I can probably help with some recipes and food prep tips! Add me if you'd like!

    Mom of 2 (18 - son, 12 - daughter). I felt real guilty working out instead of spending time w/ them. After 4 months and changing the way I live - they get it. And they are happy for me. My daughter goes to the gym w/ me sometimes.

    I'm very blessed.

    Hello! I am also a working mom of 11 year old twins and yes it is hard to get a work out in! I try to plan my workout time the day before. My goal is to try to make it to the gym at 5am. That's the time my gym open. I keep weights at home and like to try different workouts in magazines.

    Yes I'm a working mum too. I use the rice cooker a lot. Always a fast meal to whip up a healthy fried rice or stir fry with veg. I use chicken breast and lean bacon it's yum! The family never get sick of it too.
