in Introduce Yourself
Hi there,
I've used my fitness a few times, but ultimately have gotten off track. Usually due to stress of working, husband's travel, and the little one. I would love to start a group for mom's who work full-time. I gained even more weight this December and I am determined to loose it. Anyone want to start a little working mom's group?

Take care,
Sarah

    COUNT ME IN! I work for a company but work from home 4 out of 5 days a week - and usually some time on weekends. I have 3 kids (13, 16, 18) and I also work 50+ hours a week. I'm lucky to get 2,000 steps in a weekday. It feels impossible to get 10,000 a day. My sister does 10,000 but she's a teacher and on her feet all day and walks her dog 2x a day too. And she has an elliptical machine she does to get in any steps she's short of 10,000 for the day. Knowing that - I KNOW I can't get in 10,000. Really need to find out what others are doing in our situation where we sit all day.

    Also I literally only get up to pee and get a fresh cup of coffee - I don't even eat hardly at all during the day. Sometimes my kids get home from school at 2:30 and I realize I've had nothing to eat, just a pot of coffee! LOL I HATE to eat in the morning - and that's bad. I'd like to know if any of you working from home have issues like that and what you do........

    Would love to be part of a group of such highly motivated (in many ways) great women! I'm 37, work in corporate finance, and a single mom of 3 kids (14, 9 & 4) whom I have the majority of the time. Everyone's lives are busy in different ways, so think it would be a great group to get motivation and creative ideas from! Would love friend request!

    Not looking to join a group or add friends, just wanted to say that it is possible to get into amazing shape with kids and a desk job.

    I'm a single mom of two boys (ages 4 and 5). I work a full time desk job and I was going to school for the first two years I was working on losing weight. I've managed to not only lose weight, but compete as a natural bodybuilder. You can achieve anything you set your mind to.

    I am a full time working mum (desk job) also studying part time MBA, so have limited time to go to gym but have still managed to loose and track weight loss via MFP.

    Look forward to sharing and receiving tips and stories x

    Ok- I hope this link works. I am not the best when it comes to computers!! I have tried to send an invite to everyone who asked for one. However ..somet are showing up invalid user name. i doubled check my spelling and it was correct...so I am a loss on why that happened.
