Looking for other full time working mamas!

lanea83

Hello all,

I have recently been through a stressful divorce and am a full time owrking mommy of two georgous boys. One is almost 5 and one is almost 3. (a bit too old for me to use the good ol' baby weight excuse)

I know things are difficult with working full time (in an office with beautiful co workers) and trying to stay on track while being the best damn mommy I can be.

I am struggling to lose between 30-45 pounds and would love the support of other mommas out there!

I am a mom of three...ages 2 to 10 and I also work full time. It is hard squeezing time in for the gym between transporting to school / babysitter, work, dinner, homework and bedtime...but I think I am handling it just fine. I don't get to the gym near as often as I would like since nighttime is my only option but I walk any chance I get. So far, I am just 8 pounds away from my goal weight.

I work 40 hours and plan to go to college starting in January, I have a almost 2 year old son and a fiance that helps!

Hello, sorry for your divorce. I am a mom of 3 girls age 18,11,8. I'm married, work full time and go to school part time. So I have my hands full but that is not a excuse to workout and lose weight. So far I have lost 20lbs and looking into losing 45lbs more. Good luck with everything! I a sending you a friend request :-)

Single mom working full time... fortunately I only have 1 kiddo, almost 10, she's getting easier to care for by the minute.

bama1momma

I'm don't work but I stay home with my 7 month old and go to school full time.

Nikki_7680

Hi! I am a full-time working mom of 2 boys ages 8 and 5. I went back to work 3 months after each was born so I have always been a working mom. It's hard but as they get older it's getting a little easier. They are both in the same school now so child care is easier. My job is flexible so I can get them on the bus in the AM and my husband gets home earlier than me so he picks them up from the neighbor after school. What is hard is coming up with healthy meals and finding the time to get my house in order! Happy to accept any friend requests

Welcome! I'm a full time working mom with an 8 yr. old and 5 yr old. I'm sorry about your divorce - that doesn't help with emotional eating. Hang in there and remember to take care of you too.

shellma00

I am a full time working mama, I have 2 children, a 7 year old girl and 13 year old boy. My husband works out of town from Mon - Fri, so I am pretty much a single mom throughout the week. So not only do I work, but I also have to keep up with all of our hectic schedules. My kids are active in several activities. Anyone can add me if you want.. I have almost been here a year.

Feel free to add me!! I'm not divorced but I am a full-time working Mom of two boys. Energetic 6-year old and 1-year old. I'm a secretary so I sit a lot, plus live in a rural area so travel for daycare is tough too. But so far I have found something that works and hope it will for you too!!!

I am a mother of a blended family of 6 and 4 of them are boys and they are 10 years and under. I work full time and I'm Army Reservist and I'm a wife of an active duty soldier so I'm an off and on single mother. I feel your pain with balancing work and family and trying to put you first. I'm sending a friend request chica.

nancybuss

I'm not single but I have a 4 and 6 year old, work full time, and have a second job

I'm finally in the habit of working out in the AM before everyone gets up. It was the only way that worked for me.

Feel free to friend me if you'd like. Here's to lots of great new beginnings for you.
