    Feel free to add me too! I'm a mom to an almost 5 and almost 2 year old and work full time M-F, while my husband works swing shifts. My initial goal is to lose 84 lbs, but there will be a second goal in the future to reach that 150 lbs mark.

    Hi Ladies! I am mom to a very energetic, almost five year old son. I work between 40 and 50 hours a week, and I am working toward my bachelor's degree. As busy as life tends to get, I have realized that taking care of myself is just as important as taking care of my family. It's tough to leave the house after working all day to get a workout in at the gym or to go for a run, but when my son gets excited to exercise it's all worth it. We have to be examples to our kids, and teaching them the importance of health and fitness helps justify the time away.

    Hi, I'm Amber. A 29 year old wife and mom of 3. 2 boys ages 10 and 9 and a girl that's 4. My 9 year old has type 1 diabetes and I work full time out of the home. With work, kids sports, tending to my T1D child, and keeping up the home, I stay pretty busy. Always looking for new friends, so anyone can add me.

    how do we put ourselves first? I have a really hard time with that. There is always something going on my house. My 10 year old has adhd (that is a full job itself) and is in hockey full time.. my 3 year old is everywhere and my 3 month old is either pooping... eating.. spitting up or wants to held...

    Plus then there is the mountains of laundry.. meals need to be cooked..messes need to be cleaned up.... i am currently on mat leave (thank you lord) but before that with 2 kids it was hard working full time plus I was in school via distance... now I have 3 and it scares me.. My husband does help out but I always have to ask him 90% of the time because he doesnt see the work.. and he works away from home alot....

    My plate is so full literally that it might topple over...

    I'm a busy mum of a 3 year old and a 19 month old. I work part time as a secondary school teacher so on top of my working at school hours I also have planning and marking to do at home. My husband does shift work too which doesn't help.

    I fit my gym around my husband's shifts, put the kids in the gym crèche or go straight after work while the kids are still at nursery, and go at the weekend when my husband is off. I work out 5 times a week usually. I also walk a lot with my kids on my days off.

    I love my time at the gym - without that 'me' time I think I'd go insane :laugh:

    I am a busy mom... I goto Cosmetology school during the day ( 8 hours a day 5 days a week) and my daughter (12) plays on elite level travel softball and volleyball teams. She has practice 4 nights a week right now, soon to also have tournaments both local and travel on the weekends for both sports. My husband is military and is out of the state or at work most all of the time. I have NO LIFE and I am literally NEVER home. I need to lose at least 100 lbs. I am finding it difficult to avoid eating out! I would love some simple, yet effective ideas on things and ways to have some ready to go snacks/meals that are low cal and yummy. I am new to this so as I gain more knowledge and experience I will give back to the group.

    Feel free to add me as well!!

    Snowshoe mom, have you tried wearing your little one? The baby gets the comfort of being held close to you, you can do housework or some exercise with the baby securely snuggled up to you -- AND it's weight training of a sort, since you're doing everything with an extra 10-15 lbs strapped to your chest. :-)
