Nicole~did you get your sewing projects done? I am still working on the hubby's scarf. I need to still start on the kids scarf. Plus I was wanting to make my sisters and mom aprons.
Welcome Kimmiebear and Ashley! This is a great group of ladies.0 -
Thanks for the welcome on the last thread! Still trying to figure this out, but I love the site so far, everyone is so friendly.0

Welcome Kimmie and Ashley! This is a great group of ladies.
TeamLeela- It is a stay at home mom group. Or dads if they ever wanted to pop in!
Katie- No..haven't gotten hubbies or son's pj's done yet. Or my mom's cross stitch. I am playing with my new breadmaker my parents got for me!!!! It has a gluten free setting! YAY!:drinker:0 -

Nicole~We all got to try out our new toys and stop all other projects right?! :laugh: I am ready to put hubby's scarf to the side and try out some of the patterns that I got. The hubby bought me two books one that shows you different stitches and items that you can make using the knifty knitters and the other showing you how to crochet and patterns to use. I am very excited!
Welcome to all the newcomers! Chime in any time with what ever from exercise to every day trials and projects that you are doing.
So I helped the hubby fix some signs to advertise his business. We used my cricut and now I get the leftover stuff from it all. I am pretty excited about that one. I can make up some vinyl letter and maybe give them out as gifts too!0 -
Welcome to all the new ladies!!
Well DS#1 and I set up the Wii fit this afternoon! I'll be honest I was scared to get on it and see what it had me at even though I already knew but to do it in front of hubby and DS#1 was hard. I haven't let hubby know my weight in a couple of years. I made it to the gym tonight but didn't eat dinner first so I came home starving of course and ate leftover mashed potatoes, not the best choice. Hubby will leave on the 8th and be gone until the 31st so I am going to start the Slim in 6 while he is gone because I can not workout in front of him, he is in to good of shape. Maybe when he gets back I will feel more comfortable with the dvd and not be so selfconsious.
So is anyone making a new years resolution?
I never have before, always figured I would never keep it so why bother but I am thinking of maybe making one this year.0 -
Hello and welcome all new comers.
My holiday was alright. Wednesday I wont be on much, taking my mom to Chicago for heart surgery and then I'm thinking I'll be going to a funeral later this week before the new year
Night everyone. Sorry so short, pretty stressed out right now.0 -
Hello all my name is heather just joined this sight today so not sure how everything works but I am a Sahm to a 13 month boy and married to a marine who is in amazing shape so I want to look good to so hoping I can join ur group! Thanks0

A little intro: I am a 26 year old mother of 2 girls, Olivia who is 2 1/2 and Eleanor who is 10 months. I have been SAH since April of 2010 and I work 2 part time jobs from home. I'm in the process of trying to look to replace one of them as it's just not very convenient (it includes an hour drive every day to pick up work) but it's helping pay the bills for now so there you go.
I've always been a lazy person. LOL but it's true! I love to lounge and read, that's who I am. Give me a fire and a blanket and a few books over working out any day. So I try to do it first thing in the morning so I can be lazy later in the day while the kids nap. Lately, I've been trying to jog in the mornings or get up and do one of the workouts I've DVR'd from FitTV which is great because it's something different every day. It's hard to get out of my warm bet at 5am, but it's worth it because I think it's finally starting to do something! My goal for this week is to work out every morning all 5 days, which is up from 3 days last week.
The holidays were stressful. My mom....well to make a VERY long story short she's a handful and doesn't usually make situations better with her presence so spending Christmas Eve with her and my stepdad's family was not exactly joyful. I tried not to go crazy covering my feelings with food...which meant the feelings all came out of my mouth. It was cathartic and I have to say I feel better, not only that I told her exactly how I felt but also that I didn't cover it all up with food and gain a bunch of weight over Christmas. Only 1.5lbs! That's a victory!
I think I'm going to love this group. It's hard enough finding SAHM friends, let alone those who are fighting the good fight of getting healthy. Thanks for this ladies!!0 -

Hey Heather! Welcome to MFP! You'll love this site, it's amazing in lots of ways. I'm a total believer, I never stuck to anything this long before I joined 6 weeks ago. You can "friend" me and I'll try to help you figure things out as best I can!0 -
Barb~ I am sorry to hear that your mom is going in for heart surgery! I hope that the stress lifts soon in your part of the world. :flowerforyou:
Welcome Heather!0 -
Thank Katie. I just reread what I wrote last night and I didn't mean I was going to be going to my mom's funeral if anyone thought that. What I should have said was, my step brother's gma passed away last night and more than likely there will be a funeral later this week, that I'll be going to.
Can't wait to see 2011!! I'm welcoming it with arms WIDE open.0 -
hello ladies happy to find a SAHM group on here I've got two boys Theo who's 2 and a half and Sami who's 15 months.
Got really fed up with my body last Feb and sort of thought about loosing weight, end of july is when i finally got my butt in gear and i've now lost 47lbs and i'm only 18lbs away from target!!!
My two boys are complete nutters and "typical boys" so they totally keep me on my toes!
nice to chat to other mums on here0 -
Barb~I got to say that I am grateful for the clarification! I seriously thought that you were saying you thought that your mom was going to die in surgery. :sad: Glad to hear that I was wrong. Sorry to hear about the death of your step brother's GMa!
Welcome Ley!0 -
Good morning all! Anyone else having a hard time getting workouts in during Christmas break?0
-
Hi there! I would love to be a part of this group! I am a stay at home mama to 3 wonderful little children! 2 boys and 1 girl! Loving being a mom, but I hate what pregnancy did to my body. I am trying to get back in shape!0

Welcome Bethany!
Can anyone sympathize? I just decided to take the kids to the rec center where they have a "daycare". It's $2/hour/kid. So, for $6/hr I can walk the track. Bonus: An uninterrupted shower all by myself! lol bahahahaha! I've lost my mind!0 -
Kimmiebear~I can completely sympathize! I have not exercised since before Christmas. To be able to get in a shower without someone bugging me is like a miracle.

Had a great workout today. 1 hr walking the track at 3 mph. A shower all by myself without interruption. Woo hoo! Definitely worth the $12 for 2 hrs of ME time!0 -
Welcome to all of our newcomers! Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas, and is looking forward to a Happy New Year! And maybe a little less stress now that the holidays are winding down! That's why I haven't been here for so long, just so much to do, and so little time.
Kimmie~ I can TOTALLY understand how awesome it is to shower by yourself! Good for you for getting out and getting a good walk in!
Blue~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new profile picture, you look so beautiful! Also, hugs to you and for your loved ones.
You guys, The Man has been on holiday schedule (getting off work at noon) for nearly 3 weeks now. Driving me absolutely bonkers, because as soon as he gets home, he heads right for the PlayStation. And I nearly LOST it (on Christmas Day no less) because I'm making homemade Korean food (not a small task), the girls are supposed to be cleaning their rooms, but they are screaming at each other, I have bulgogi in one pan, mandu in another, paejon in ANOTHER, and The Man is in the den, killing zombies. :explode: Next day he tells me that I'm not budgeting my time well, and that's why I'm getting frustrated. I told him, 'no, I'm getting frustrated, because I've got all this stuff going on and you're sitting on your duff.' Well, he told ME that supervising the kids is MY lane, not his. Grrrrr.
BUT,there is a happy ending. The past few days he must have had a change of heart, because he has been asking if he can help with anything. I made him out a honey-do list and he really buckled down and got to work on it.0 -
I would like to join the group, I'm looking for some support. I'm a sahm to two kids Jonathon 4 and Isabel 2. My idea was to start moday but due to the whole family being sick I haven't worked out and the eating I've done ok with only because I've been too sick to eat much. Though one good thing did come out of being sick I finally gave up my pepsi its been three days since. I can't wait to get to know all of you.

So how is everyone doing? Ready for the New Year?
I have been pretty good with getting in some kind of workout this week, got to the gym on Mon & Tues plus have been hitting the Wii fit! It is actually fun cause the whole family is taking turns working out together & trying to beat each other's scores, even me who is not competitive at all caught myself trying to do better than hubby & DS#1 and getting excited when I did! One more week till hubby is gone for 3 weeks and I start my Slim in 6, kinda of getting excited about starting it although once I have I may change my mind, haha!!
Opps another one of my guys is awake better get off here and go get him out of his bed, have a great day everyone!!0 -
hey ladies, i havent worked out in weeks after some illness and christmas and everything its been manic and i've been really lazy!
I really want to do the C25k because i just started to get into running before the weather turned nasty, however i'm finding it hard to figure out some way of doing it!
I cant afford to join a gym just yet and there are no free tracks around here, theres a river just near my house which is where i go walking with the kids (and also where i started running) but its not street-lit.
I could run around the estates around here but i dont feel comfortable doing it - i always worry that i'm gonna meet someone unsavoury - if you know what i mean?
thing is my husband doesnt get home until gone 7pm most nights and so thats the only time i get to go out and do it!
i started out by working out on the Wii and using exercise dvds but because i'm getting closer to my target its getting harder to shift the weight, i need to step my game up but without joining the gym my only other option (thats appealing) is running and i dont wanna have to wait until the days get longer!!!0 -
Home~ Way to go on keeping it in. I would have exploded and told him to get off his lazy butt and help out with the kids (even if he isn't lazy). Glad that he started to help you out more though.
Welcome Stephanie! Way to go on giving up your pepsi for 3 days that is a big thing.:drinker:
Christi~ Glad that you are enjoy your Wii fit and that it is a family activity. You are going to have to tell us how you like your slim in 6 dvds.
Ley~Have you tried bike riding? I LOVE LOVE LOVE bike riding and it BLASTS the fat away. I can't get out and go for a bike ride (snowing here). I so can not wait for spring.
So do I have a crappy day to share with all of you. It starts out that we are taking our cats in to get spayed and neutered and having to take them about 45 min to get it done (the Vet was having a special for $15/cat can't beat that). We are on the freeway, it snowed last night so the roads are horrible and I was going about 45 mph and this IDIOT is PARKED, yes parked, in the HOV lane (car pool lane for anyone who doesn't know what HOV is) he starts to drive and pulls out into my lane going maybe 20 at the most. I of course try to avoid hitting him or him hitting me BUT nope the guy scrapes the drivers side front which ends up making me hit into a truck on my right side. Well me and the truck pull over to the emergency lane. What does the guy who caused the accident do??? DRIVE AWAY!!! :explode: :explode: :explode: It took over 2 hours to get all the info done and back on our way to the Vet. The good news in all of it is the guy in the truck was throwing a fit that his truck needed to be fixed and so we needed to have a police report well the UHP (Utah highway patrol) did not cite me for the accident because of the evidence on my car that some one clearly hit into me first. THANK GOODNESS!!! Well the guy in the truck not sure where he is going to get his truck fixed because my insurance has already said that they will not pay for it because it was not my fault and I am certainly not paying for it to get fixed. I guess he will have to claim a no insurance thing to get it fixed. Oh and yes everyone is okay and surprisingly my van has minor damage. Which we know is by the grace of Heavenly Father that there was not any more damage done then this.0 -
i would like to join0
