in Introduce Yourself
Hello there! My name's Amanda and i have a daughter named Ava who is three. It's just the two of us and i work full time. With everything on my plate, i find it difficult to find the time to do what i need to do to lose the weight and get healthy for the two of us. I thought having some other single mom friends who are going thru the same thing would understand the struggle and we could help motivate each other!

    I am!! I am much older than you...LOL. But I too am a single mom and it's hard to find time to exercise and eat the right stuff, especially when you work fulltime. I'm Annmarie :)

    Hey everyone, I am a single mom to a beautiful five month old baby boy. I am definitely struggling with changes this has brought to both my life and my body, but I am attempting to take it one day at a time! I hope to become friends with many of you!

    Add me, I need any motivation I can get. Single mom to a 9 year old boy and when I say single I mean SINGLE! No one helps me and I don't get assistance. Therefore I do everything!

    Hello. Not a single mom, I'm married to an active duty Marine (so actually sometimes I am...maybe for a month or as long as a year; and he works 12 hrs or more every day and most weekends).

    My daughter is 4.5. I work full time at an office, have an on-call phone 24/7, and finishing grad classes.
    I couldnt get to the gym like I once did when I was a SAHM. I started 30 day shred april 8 and get up before my daughter does its only like 25 mins and a GREAT burn. I've been great with it. I lost 8 lbs(4 before the program) this month and 4.6 inches. Im only on day 2 of level 3. I still have about 5 days or more to go, then level 4.

    Food wise, I try to prepare what I can for the week coming up on Sundays.
    Good Luck. Add if you want.

    Hello, Not exactly a single mom. But the person I am dating is a truck driver and is gone for a month at a time and then only home for 5 days before he is gone again. I have a 4 year old daughter and work full time. I could definitely use some support and motivation. Anyone is more than welcome to add me. :)

    I'm in too! I have one ten-year-old and work full time. No family here, but lots of church friends who help. I have no one at home holding me accountable for getting off the couch, so I need some extra!! Thanks.:smile:

    I'm older than you but I am also a single working mom. I have two teenage boys who are homeschooled. The oldest one has Aspergers Syndrome. So I truly get trying to do everything on your own!
