I needed to see your post today! Really inspired me! The best day I had in weeks was when my 5 year old motivated to do a workout and did the entire thing with me! I know this lifestyle change is a journey, not a destination and It wonderful what we can teach our kids. ♥0

Full time working mom with an almost two year old. I am lucky that I am a teacher and have time this summer to focus on me for once. As a mom we always put ourselves last and it is so hard to pull the pieces together. I'm with you girl, feel free to add me.0

My first post on MFP! I have a 2 year-old and one who just turned 4, both girls. I teach during the year and stay home in the summers. I can relate to every previous poster, and definitely add me!
Some things that have tremendously helped: Online shopping!! We are fortunate to have two stores in my area that offer this. You just log on, choose your groceries, hit a button, roll on by the store in the swaggerwagon, push a button, and they come right out and load those groceries in your car for you! It has changed my life!
I joined a Y that has a child care room, so I do my class and then get a hot shower BY MYSELF. It's worth the monthly membership fee just to get that solo shower in peace.
I like to do Crossfit Travel WOD (workout of the day) style workouts when the kids are sick or it's too hot/rainy to get outside. I have a yoga mat, 5 lb. weights, and a resistance band, but I like to to the exercises that just use your body weight for resistance. Those are the cheapest kind, and you really don't have an excuse! I did this one while I strapped the kids to their booster chairs and put out a smorgasbord of food. They laughed and laughed at me. Here is the video that will kick your butt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6SV7q4Oa4aQ#at=11
Documenting my weight loss journey is key for me. I've been interviewing other women or men in my life that are inspiring and have lost weight. Check it out at http://lucyislosingit.blogspot.com0 -

How's everyone doing? I've enjoyed seeing people's wall posts and such. I haven't had a great 2 days, but today is a new day and I've got healthy food stocked in the fridge and pantry. WE CAN DO THIS.0

there's nothing like a toddler sitting on your stomach while doing Jillian Michaels workouts and trying to do crunches
This is so true, lol.my 19 month old loves to do that!
I have a 4 year old and a 19 month old and I am also a full time student. It's hard to find time to squeeze workouts in but it is totally doable! Anyone is welcome to add me. I am here everyday and fairly active on the site.0 -
Feel free to add me. Full time working single mom of a two year old. Gotta make the time for me. Which isn't so easy.0

Mom of a two year old and 4 year old, worked 50 hours per week up until April of this year. It's a challenge finding time for me, I've had to find unique ways to incorporate the kids into my workout. For example I strap them into into a double stroller and powerwalk, we have relay races in our yard, my 4 year old will try to do aerobics with me and since he weighs 40 pounds I've added lifting him several times into my routine. Feel free to add me, love having the support of other moms!0
