Any single moms out there trying to get healthy?

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.

I am a single mom and I am trying to become healthy. I have 3 kids and my youngest is 17 months. We can do this

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!!!

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.

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.

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?!?

I'm a single mum for the second time around, my two oldest kids are 23 & 21 and I have a very energetic 6yo who is the reason for this, I want to be able to run and play and do things with her and I intend to be around for many more years to do it!

Single mom of a beautiful and very active 12 year old girl. Feel free to add me :-)
