Women in their 30s with children please!

Can't seem to find many friends on here. Just need some support and motivation with women in pretty much the same boat as me. Don't have a lot to lose, 50 pounds, but words of advice are nice. Little tips and tricks. You know? I'm Shannon and I'm 34. :laugh:

    Hi,

    I'm working hard to really get back in shape.
    After heaving 2 kids i gained 8 kg. I'm glad I get that ringbell in my head that this was not the way i wanted to be. So i changed my lifestyle.

    Age: 39
    Length 5"25 (1.60 cm)
    CW: 119 (54 kg)
    Goal: to be fit and toned


    From 68 kg to 54 kg in 1,5 year
    So i lost 14 kg

    I am determined to get rid of all my fat on my leggs.
    I will get what i want someday soon!!

    Hi there ladies. I am turning 30 this year and am a single mother to 3 beautiful girls; 10, 8, and 3. We function as a team of four in order to help each other reach our dreams and goals. I am a figure competitor, full time gang officer, and I serve in the US Army Reserve. I coach my daughter's volleyball team and teach them about health and fitness every chance I get. I am finishing my Personal Training Certification soon, and love nothing more than to help others on here, and in real life, by holding them accountable and doing some "excuse busting". :-) Feel free to add me if you would like.

    You can add me too. I'm turning 30 in a few months and I am a single mother with a two year old boy. I'm trying hard to lose about 70 lbs and it is tough to find time between work and the kiddo. I've found it especially hard because I used to work out a gym, but I can't do that anymore because I can't afford it (kids cost too much!) and I also don't have anyone to watch my son while I work out. I'm learning to make do with walks, going to the park, doing exercise videos and I just got a used elliptical to help me out. We can do this - there's always a way!

    Hi Shannon (and everyone else) I'm 35 and a mum of a 3 year old boy and a 17 month old girl.

    I've lost about 45lbs since my daughter was born last May and would like to lose another 15-20lbs.

    Yeah! Good post. Would love to have more women who are in the same life cycle as me. Anyone notice that weight is a little slower coming off than in the 20's?!?

    I am 37 and mom of four. Work full time and have dropped 25 pounds since May. SW:200 Goal: between 132 and 145. I'll know when I get there.

    Workout 5ish days a week and just progressed to HIIT. Have just pushed through my 2nd plateau. :)
