Stay at Home Moms, Please!
I think women should be able to stay at home if they choose to do so. Raising your own child instead of sending it to day care is a great thing but it's rude to tell women to stay at home. Some women don't have the choice of staying home with their children. What if they're a single mother or they need two incomes to live on?
Stay at home if you can but don't be sexist. This isn't 1950 anymore.
I don't believe she meant it like you took it!!! She is looking for other STAY AT HOME MOMS!!! to help her in her journey to a better and healhier her!! She was not at all talking about Moms need to stay at home!! I'm sorry that you took it this way, but if you read her post instead of just the title maybe it would have been clear!!! We all need to be supportive of one another and not jump off the edge just because of a title!! God bless and Hope you have a Great day!! :-)0 -

So sorry...I meant it as in, "Looking for Stay-at-home-Moms, please." I was looking for other moms who stay home to be friends with on mfp. Sorry for the mix up!0

I currently stay home with my daughter who's 8 months. I usually get bored and get tempted to go into the food. I noticed I began to just eat just to eat because of bordom, stress, etc. So, I got healthy snacks, such as greek yogurt, fruit. We get "dinners" on the day of, and that helps too! We have chips a hoys and chips, but that stuff gets old. I try not to think about food, but it's ALWAYS ON MY MIND!!!!!!!!
Drinking tea also helps. For some reason whenever I drink a cup of tea, "food" doesn't really apease me.

After 14 years of working outside home , I became a stay at home mom (Daughter 14, Son, 12, and Daughter 7). At the time I had lost 25 pounds using my fitness pal. In the year I quit work I have gained 15 pounds back. I am so mad at myself. I think work provided more structure plus dressing up vs wearing sweats and casual clothes my clothes needed to fit. The other issue I try to finish up the leftovers and easier access to snacks. I am back on track now and working hard.0

SAHM to 3 teens and full time college student. It's really hard eating healthy and being on the go constantly and then trying to fit in exercise between classes etc. But I get it done. Take the stairs instead of the elevator, my breaks between classes I walk around campus etc. When the kids are home from school I'm busy with them and do things around the house and yard etc. Keeping busy keeps me from eating mindlessly and just standing in the fridge doors looking for something else to snack on. Hope to go to work full time once I graduate. Won't be much longer. Add me as a friend if you like.0

Hi! I am right there with you, im also a SAHM and i have a 4 year old little girl and a 18 month old little boy. The temptations are horrible, ive gotten alot better with eating all the time now that ive added ALOT more water to my diet and cut out all sugary drinks so im constantly drinking water which helps keep me full and i try my best to stay out of kitchen unless i have to be in there (to cook or clean). My two are always giong 100 mph but i have finally be able to really get in a routine to get my workouts done. i dont go to the gym i just cant afford it anymore. But I do the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred off of my computer which keeps the tv on for the kids if they want it on and they've learned to give me 30 minutes and ill be done...then i also do the 45 minute zumba workout on my tv but i do that around 2 in the afternoon when i put my son down for his nap, he'll nap for at least an hour if not 2 still so im able to knock the zumba out before he wakes up and my 4 year old either naps some days or she will color or work on her numbers and let me get the workout in. Ive learned i do the 3 meals a day with snacks in between and that really helps out as well. I do the fiber one bars/brownies/cereal and that helps keep me full as well. Add me as a friend if you would like. 0

I'm currently a stay at home Mom of my almost 2 year old. For myself I figured out what healthy snacks satisfy my sweet tooth, and I added more veggies to our dinner plates and I found alternatives to snacks, like special k cracker chips. I also take the portion out instead of eating it out of the box.
I workout during naptime or after bedtime. My hubby isn't a big slacker, he only eats it if I bring it in the house, so I don't 0 -

i am a SAHM to three kiddos, 4 , 2 and 9 months, def can relate re the binge eating especially when kids are getting on my nerves.

would love some support and to support other moms.

Hello everyone,
I'm a 22 year old sahm (10 month old & 4 year old) and I know exactly what you mean about falling off of the wagon repeatedly. I am committing to this completely now and I would love to join others on their journey to get fit! I'm still new to the state i moved to 3 years ago and with me being a sahm it's a little more challenging to meet other women my age or in a similar lifestyle so I am excited to begin and gain support and be able to encourage others as well!0 -

You don't need exercise to lose weight, that is only a bonus. About 70% of what you put in your mouth will determine weight loss. Grab some motivation and willpower and the pounds will come off.0

Hi I am a 24 yr old stay at home mom. With a soon to be 3 year old and an 8 month old. I do find it difficult cause your so busy and you grab a quick snack which is usually something fatty. When I feed them breakfast I get myself some too and eat while they are. And same thing for lunch. I usually eat what my 3 year old is eating so its not an unhealthy breakfast or lunch either. I wish all of you good luck. And feel free to add me.0

I was a SAHM for years before I went back to work almost 4 years ago. I was actually in better shape then than I am now. Mostly due to being busier now and having a hard time now to fit in the gym, and mainly having to just workout at home. Anyway when I stayed at home I had a scheduled and I stuck to it! I got the kids up made everyone breakfast, went to the gym, came home and made everyone lunch, put them down for a nap (when they were younger), and while they were napping I showered, cleaned up lunch, paid bills, etc. I was always too busy to just be sitting and eating or realizing I was hungry. I think the other key as well is to get all the processed junk out so that you aren't tempted by it. I always had fruit and veggies cut up and ready to go so they were easier to grab and go. Again I think the main thing is a schedule and routine, at least for my girls and I it was!0

I totally understand! I have two boys, 3yrs and 19 months. It gets really stressful sometimes being home alone all day everyday with them. Especially when it rains or is too cold to play outside.
It really helps me that I have the app on my phone, which is pretty much always in my pocket. If I take a bit of something, I enter it. It also helps a lot that I am doing P90x. I do it at nap/quiet time, and it's way easier for me to get my workout in when I don't have to leave the house.0 -

Hi there.. I'm a SAHM too and I completely get it. I have a demanding 18month old. It's hard at times to get my workouts in. I do Zumba and elliptical. I try to dance around my son when I Zumba LOL!! He finds it entertaining. The days I do elliptical, I either put on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or have him play next to me. I'll add you as a friend and please do the same. I have no friends on here0
