Any single moms out there trying to get healthy?

msflores75 · September 2012

Hi, I am a single Mom of 3. I just started on here. Today is day 6 for me. I am trying to learn to eat healthy and I am trying to fit in some exercise between 3 jobs....yikes!! I have lost 2 lbs so far.

Single mom of 3 (2 boys and a girl) ages 3, 6, 8...

I've 4 main goals:
1. To be able to keep up with my kids on all fronts.
2. To set the mold for my sons of a woman, wife, & lady to use in the future when they begin seeking out their future wives. Hopefully, not for another 25+ yrs. LOL
3. To give my daughter an image to strive for as she grows into becoming a lady, woman, & wife.
lastly 4. To be a woman, wife, & lady that any man would be proud to lay claim to.

I am "single" as in rolling solo as my husband and I are apart. Though we are apart, I still carry on as a married woman because I am, just not with the benefit of having a supportive husband in my home.

Hey all,

I'm an SMC (single mother by choice) of two gorgeous girls (6 yrs old and 10 mos). I'm really lucky because I have a lot of help around the house (I live in Colombia where it's less expensive) so I do have time to exercise but I'm pretty tired after working all day and I try and make sure that I spend good quality time with my girls in the evenings. I have a trail-a-bike so my six year old and I sometimes go on long rides on Sunday mornings or I'll go for a run by myself. The challenge is to keep myself eating healthy because there's so much temptation and lots of social eating all around.

I'm looking for friends too so please friend me if you're interested.

right here! My son is 9 but my parents adopted a teen sister and it's a big deal for me to be a role model for her as far as health image is concerned. She loves going to Zumba class with me and we even practice our moves at home. That's something you can definitely do that your girls can relate to.

Single mom... I love the fact that we are both getting healthy

He rides his bike I jog next to him. I work out .... he watches and gets involved also... He loves doing planks and he pushes me... we count for each other... Its really is great knowing I am giving and showing him what he needs to do live a healthy life. My favorite is when he begs for salmon and brussel sprouts for dinner!!!

Mom of an 8 month old baby boy. I didn't gain too much with my pregnancy, and thankfully already lost it. Now I'm trying like hell to lose the extra 10 lbs i had before I got pregnant! (I kinda let myself go after I got married, my husband is suuuuuuuch a good cook, damn him! :grumble: )

I am a single mom of 3 teenagers, who are all in different stages of teenagehood -- this qualifies me as having temporary insanity. Making sure I find time for workouts, even if it's for a couple of laps around the block, is super important. It took some time, but the kiddos have noticed my change in habits and have started to hike and go to the gym with me. So excited that I'm an influence for good health and wish I would have started when they were younger.

You can do this! Good luck to you! :flowerforyou:

Single mom of the cutest 6yo lil girl! She is so energetic and I have got to get in shape if I'm going to keep up with her.

Single mom here with 3 kids, (9, 8 & 6). Life is busy...I work full time and I workout late at night after the kids go to bed usually. I started last January getting in gear and my life has changed! Nice to meet all of you we can do this!!!

I am a single mom! My youngest is 6 months old, so I have some baby weight to lose. I also have four other kids ranging between 10 and 17 years old. I just started going to the gym and tracking my calories, so I'm new here.

julesboots · October 2012

Single mom of 7 yr old girl. Have her basically full-time, so finding time to exercise can be tough, but am really trying to get it into gear right now.

Open to all single mom friend requests- add me if you'd like : )

Hi ladies!!!! I am also a single mom of 2 girls, 5 and 7. I've been overweight my whole life and I'm almost 30. The way I see it, if I don't do something now....it's only going to get harder! I am currently the biggest I have ever been, at 30 lbs away from 300lbs!!! When I weighed at the Dr.'s office last week I was appalled that I had let myself go so badly! However, I am optimistic!

! I know I can do this, but I'd rather not do it alone! So how about it....add me as a friend and let's encourage each other through this journey to healthy living?!?
