    Hello everyone, I feel the same way. After work and school and kids, who has time to worry about eating right and exercise? But I want to. I want to wear cute clothes and feel good about myself again. I am ready for a change and I want to loose 40 lbs to start with. I weigh more now than I did when I was 9 months pregnant. That was 12 years ago. I need help staying motivated as well.

    I guess I am one of the lucky ones. My husband was active duty when the kids were little, so I just went to the base gym around his insane work hours. Sometimes that meant I napped with the kids and went when he got home at midnight, but whatever. Sometimes we could scrape up a childcare swap in the neighborhood where one or two would watch all the kids while the others cleaned/cooked like maddogs. It worked out pretty well.

    Feel free to add me - I have two boys, aged 2 and 12 weeks. I'm heading back to work after maternity leave (full time, 1 hr+ commute) and have been exercising and logging food daily for the past 35 days or so, I hope I can keep it up once I'm back at work and could use some friends in the same boat to keep me motivated!!

    I am a fulltime mommy and student! I also volunteer locally on my free time from work & school. At first the adjustment was difficult, but I incorporated my new lifestyle changes into my busy day! Feel free to add me :)

    I would like to be friends and help each other lose weight. I am a working mother/grandmother. I also help take care of 2 of my aunts and one uncle. I don't have a lot of time for me. I put losing weight last on the to-do list. I want to lose 50 lbs to be healthier for me and my family. I would like to look better so that I don't hide from the camera at family functions.

    Hello - you all can feel free to add me! I love supermom support! I have three children (ages 6, 4, 4) I stay at home but I keep myself busy with getting my masters of social work online and my twin boys have a life threatening syndrome that requires a lot of travel time to doctors appts and therapies. I have lost over 50 lbs but took a break and gained back 20. I am looking to lose 30 pounds and get back to running on a regular basis and complete 2 half marathons this year. (with a few 5ks mixed in).

    Add me too!! I'm married, 2 kids, 2 cats, work, Grad school, and have a running addiction! This year is all about nutrition for me. If I would have been eating right along with all my running that I did this year, I would be smaller than I am now! Hindsight being 20/20, I'm all about clean eating this year! Let's do this SuperMoms!!

    Don't feel very super...but I am a mom! I am a single, working mom of two boys, ages 12 and 10. I started in August with 85lbs to lose...I am down 54.7 so far. I have never put myself first...I am still trying to find a balance. Would love to have friends in a similar situation. Feel free to add me!

    I would love to have you supermoms as superfriends! Who better to motivate you than a real-life multi-tasking supermom?

    I am 34 and mom to three wonderful kids (5, 6 and 9), I work full-time, study part-time, have an extra part-time work plus the family and home and everything that comes with it *sigh* but I WILL get those extra pounds off. I will I will I will!
