Hi Ladies!! Mom of two and new to MFP. Just wondering how many times you exercise per week? I'm trying to fit in 3-4 times per week, but it's hard. Do you set a certain time of the day as your workout time, or do you fit it in whenever you can during the day?

Hi everyone! I am new to MFP, and new to this group! I am a 29 year olf mother of 2. I work full time and come home to cook for my kids and hubby, clean up and homework, bath time...bla bla bla you know how it goes. Tellme anyone, how do you fit in the time to work out!!!!! By the time the kids are in bed, my brian is on autopilot, jsut want to sit in front of the tv and fall asleep to it!!

Hey all, my name is Katrina and I'm new to MFP as well I have a 6 month old that I am breastfeeding right now and I can never figure out time to exercise! Now I'm finally working it in at nights; however that means less time with my husband. Anyway, my week looks like this:

Monday: Work - Workout around 7:45pm-8:30pm
Tuesday: Work - relax
Wednesday: Work late - no workout
Thursday: Husband works late - no workout
Friday: Work - Workout at night
Saturday: Workout
Sunday : Workout

The food is my real trouble right now, to be honest. If I want something I don't deny myself because I feel like I deserve it for working so hard the rest of my life. That thought process is not helpful in the least. Hopefully being a part of this group can help me on my way to losing the weight.

Right now I'm 195-197 and working towards 150.

Hi all, My name is Kelly. I'm a 32 year-old mother of a 3 1/2 year old. I am trying to lose weight to be healthier for him, but I also want to look good. I work full time, and my husband is supportive of my efforts, but he is tall and thin and has never struggled with weight a day in his life. It's nice to have other people who GET IT. lol. My goal was to lose at least 40 pounds. I have lost 11, but I have been at a plateau for the last month. I do pretty well with my diet, but I have been so lazy about exercising! I'm ready to do this and get the rest of the weight off!

Hi ladies! I am 29 years old and mother of 4 awesome boys (10, 8, 5, 2). I work full time in a hospital communications center. When I'm not busy I like to... wait, I'm always busy!

What do you do to add extra workouts and healthy habits in your day?

I've been on MFP for a couple weeks and really love seeing everyone's success.

Hi! I am 36 and married and have a 1yo son and 3yo daughter. I just recently went from full time to part time at my job in business services in a hospital. Decreasing my hours has been great because I am getting to spend more time with the kids and have been able to carve out a little me time for walking. Some days are just hard though and its great to find support and motivation on here. Feel free to add me as a friend. I have lost 16lbs and haveabout 45-50 more to go

Hi everyone! I'm a mom of two. My son is 6 and my daughter is 4. Over the last year I have really developed some really bad/unhealthy habits resulting in weight gain of course. I have alot of work ahead of me but I'm not sure about the numbers going down on the scale. I want a healthy life and healthy habits. I want to feel good about how I look in my clothes and how I actually feel!
I joined a gym about 3 weeks ago. I've been going at least 3 times a week since I joined.

Hola "Hello", Im a 32 yr old married mother with children in ages of 17, 12, 10. I work full time and also have 2 home based businesses I try to do more in. For starters lets get it all out there, Being a Mom is a full time job all by itself. Then putting a job outside of the home is overwhelming at times. Then being a wife, " to a great man" is also just like saying :My cup runneth over, BIG TIME" then of course my awesome babies are always on the go. So that means guess what ... Mom is like a unpaid taxi driver that is so happy for all their accomplishments but in need of a date night to my self. NOW... breathe... ladies...
Ok, in summary, A womans job is never done.. but Im not complaining cause I am lovin my life.
Yes, I also need someone to be accountable to with my food intake and exercise cause obviously I havent been taking care of me.
It is time, to be free, the question is : Am I ready for the challenge. Answer: I believe so, just in need of a encouraging word for me sometimes. Giving and giving all the time and not taking time to think what is best for self is not always good.I should of figured this out about 175 pds ago.... Still Alive, Still Thriving, Am Willing!

Hello my name is Robin , I am a mother of 3 girls ages 18,13, 6... the last one was a last ditch effort for a boy. No such luck. After having my babies my gram passed and it was time for me to be healthier for my girls or I would suffer the same ailments as she did. I lost 70 lbs and I was feeling great never been 160 in my life the scale would not move I got frustrated and burnt out. I fell off the wagon so to speak and now a year later and 15 lbs heaver. I am here to try to get back on track. I have started a core class at the gym and try to do 30 min of cardo a day... and mfp says I should be at aprox 1500 cal a day... I need support as you all know with children life gets in the way. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
