looking for other busy moms

I'd love to buddy up with you. I'm a very busy SAHM of a special needs child who is homeschooled so my days tend to be super crazy. I started on this health kick while he was visiting grandma's but now that he's coming back I could sure use some Mom friends to help me figure it out. The hardest part for me I think will be that he's a very picky eater and so I have a feeling we'll be eating different things alot of the time.

Hi I am new to this site, I am a busy mom of a 1 year old and a 3 month old. I need to lose 200 pounds so that I can be healthy for my children. I am married to a wonderful man and I am a stay at home mom who goes to school online. Its nice meeting you!

gonna send you ladies requests... im new to mfp, and am also a busy mom of three, working ft as a supervisor and attending college. also looking for other busy mamas..

I am a mother of two under 5. My tricks are I plan my meals on the weekend and shop for those things. That helps us stay organized. We rarely if ever eat out. I also utilize my crock pot or quick recipes on busier days when I have to drive them to activities.I cook a lot of recipes from www.skinnytaste.com. I also stack our fridge with healthy snacks for me and the kids like cucumbers and humus and nuts and fruit. I work out about 3 to 4 times a week. I usually squeeze a workout on Saturday or Sunday morning. My husband watches them or I take them with me and they have a day care for seven dollar and I can work out for 2 hours. I also work out right after work before I pick them up from day care once a week. Sometimes I go first thing in the morning before work or we work out at work. Someone organized a trainer to come in and run a bootcamp once a week. They key is variety and its whenever I can get a work out in I can. It is tough and week to week varies but it is achievable. I rarely if ever watch tv because i don't have time, unless its on the tv at the gym. As a mother working out gives me sanity. I've lost all my baby weight now and kept it off. i think its important to be good role models for my children too. If I can do this anyone can! Stay positive!

HI ladies. Busy working mom of 2 baseball playing boys. One is 14 the other is 8. I have my wonderful husband coaching my younger one. Trying to lose 30 tough pounds while working, being a taxi to both of the boys, while being a wife and mom. I know I can use all the support I can get. Have a great rest of your day! I hope to hear from you soon

anyone can add me, I am a busy mom with 2 children and also have a daycare, so I am always trying to juggle my time for exercise and always making 2 different meals.

Climbing back on the wagon, myself...I did really well, then crashed & burned at maintenance. Now I've got 20lbs or so to go, and I'm going to try to log as well as I did before.
For me, it was all about getting into a routine. Hard to start, SO easy to stop...but once I get a groove going, I do much better. I'm a single mom to a 2-year-old, so my exercise is limited to what I can do in the house and at my gym, which has child care. No stroller jogging, since I have a back injury. Honestly, though, for me exercise is more about my mental health/balance/energy, and I think my previous weight loss resulted less from the calories burned on my elliptical, and more from the greater energy and motivation it gave me to get on the kitchen and really cook healthy food -- including batch cooking, so I always had healthy meals prepared from whole foods ready to go in the fridge & freezer. But if I miss a couple weekend cooking sessions, or a few cardio sessions, then everything goes to crap. Still working on that...
Anyway, I'm back to logging, and hopefully this time I'm more successful. Feel free to add me!

we are all busy. so are all toddlers. and all boys.

Hi there, i too am a busy mum, I have four sons 11, 9, 6 and 4. I have a great hubby and also work full time, however, I find it all too stressful. Sadly my stress release is food and I have put on 84 llbs in the last 4 years ... I now need to loose 100+ pounds. I have set myself a resolution to lose this year and have put an exercise bike, rower and cross trainer in the garage ......just got to find the motivation now to eat healthily and do the workouts ... It would be great to have a buddy for morale support!
