Busy Mother of two trying to take back her health

HRSNelson

Hello My name is Heather. I am a married mother of two beautiful children. I currently work full time and attend school full time, I also lead a girl scout troop in my free time ( what little of it I have lol) I am looking for new friends on here to help keep motivated to my goal of loosing 90 lbs. I started putting on weight with my first child and have never really stopped, my oldest is now 9 and my youngest 6. I want to not only loose the weight but make precautions not to gain it back by also changing my eating habits and lifestyle. I have had success in the past with my fitness pal but quit using it for a while and gained the 29 lbs I lost back. I am looking foward to getting back on track and taking back control of my life. :happy:

I am also a mother of 2 a 7 year old and a 2 year old!

I understand lack of free time. Before we moved to Germany I was working 2 jobs and going to school full time, and taking care of both of my boys and my oldest was in Cub scouts and I was doing all this while my Husband was deployed!! You can do it! We can get each other through it!!

Hi!!!

Make sure you take time to pat yourself on the back for taking the time to care for you. Us Moms are so bad about taking care of everyone else that we completely forget ourselves. I am a busy mom of 2 who gave up working full-time to be there for her kids. What an adjustment!! I took a year off and was lost. Unfortunately, I found food. Moved to NC last year and have been trying to get a handle on my weight ever since. Joined the Y and have been trying to commit to going every AM. So add me for support!!

Good Luck!!!
