Hi all,

I am looking for a buddy. I have been on and off MFP for a couple of months, but now I am finally sucking it up, buckling down, and getting rid of this weight. Not losing, because I do not plan to find it again. :-) So anywho, I looking for others to help motivate me and visa versa!

    I'm a homeschooling mom of 3 :) I have a 4th grade girl, pre-k girl, and an (almost) 2 year old boy! Hard to find time to get out and exercise, especially when it's cold. I think once the little ones are a little bit older it will get easier. Thoughts?

    I have realized recently that the stairs are my new best friend thanks to the snow. lol. We use a mix of Switched on Schoolhouse, BJU Press, Saxon, free things found on the web, and games. :) My kiddos are in 3rd, 2nd, 2yr old and 4months. Craziness around here. lol What types of methods/curricula is everyone using/have used?

    I've been homeschooling for 3 years and doing this for 1 month. Ugh. I have lost 4-5 lbs. I'm thankful, but its too cold to exercise, so what are you doing for that? HELP. I'm getting discouraged, because I am always over my calories.

    Tomorrow, I am planning to go to the library and take a peek at their exercise dvd section. I am going to try to find a family one. Maybe you could do the same. If you have a basement, could you make room for the kids to run around and an area for you to exercise?

    Other than the workout classes I take and teach, I'm a SAHM. We're more unschoolers than homeschoolers, but feel free to add me if you like. :)

    I'm a SAHM, homeschooled for 6 years although this year we are "home educating" our kids are doing Iowa Public Online. 3 kids ranging from 6 to 15. I've just restarted my weight-loss journey. I lost 60 pounds in 2011, only to gain 40 of it back due to stress eating last year. Now I'm getting back on track and determined to keep it off for good.

    Feel free to add me if you'd like.

    A-yup. I homeschool my two daughters, 12 and 9. The younger one is physically disabled and has some learning disabilities. They've both been homeschooled from K on, after a year of private preschool to learn all those things like "share your crayons" and "wash your hands" and "Don't cut in line."

    We are mostly classical homeschoolers -- strong emphasis on Latin, history, reading and grammar.

    Feel free to add me if you like! That goes for anyone here, not just the OP.
