    Insanity describes life when kids are little! LOL

    You can add me. I am in the same boat, I still have baby weight to loose from my first one, and he is 6. Add what I gained with my second one and now I have over 100lbs to loose.

    I love Insanity. It is a challenge and I sweat like a pig, but it feels good when I am done. I am just finishing up the first week today. I did not like the recovery day so I would do the plyometric workout.

    I am also a mother of two, ages 3 & 4.

    Feel free to add me. I've finally lost all my excess pregnancy weight and now I'm working on the college weight/early years of marriage weight.

    I am doing the Insanity workout as well and LOVE IT! I am only towards the end of the 2nd week. I have to say after my workouts, I feel so good...You will have those days when you feel so sore and crappy but I tend to push through it.

    I'm in the same boat. With 2 small children it can be hard to find the time to exercise. I find using MFP helps keep me accountable. Feel free to add me!

    To all the beautiful mothers!!
    I am a mother of two boys (both under the age of 2) and I love being a mother, I wouldn't trade it in for the world. I am blessed to have a career that allows me to bring my kids to work with me on a daily basis. My kids are healthy, and my family is also healthy so I shouldn't be complaining about anything. Well the truth is I am so uncomfortable with my weight, I have a belly that jiggles and I have so many clothes (jeans) that don't fit me. I refuse to buy more clothes at this point. I have not had any time for myself which I have to fight over with my husband. I'm going to be 31 in July and I feel like 41 and honestly I don't want to look like a mother of two, if you know what I mean. I just want to feel comfortable in what I am wearing. Please support me girls!

    One thing to note is that I also work full time and am always exhausted!! Any tips are welcomed, I still have 30lbs to lose from my first and 7 lbs to lose from my 2nd to get back to my pre children size!!

    Hello!

    Another mom of two hoping to lose the rest of the weight I put on during pregnancy. My youngest is 5 so I've had time ;o)

    romapatel4a - same boat. Work full time and also freelance. I find I only actually do a work out if i get up at 5:15 before the kids and do it then. It sucks, but I'm least tired first thing. If I wait until 830 and they are asleep I usually have no energy left.
