This is actually my first post here. I've been on MFP for not quite 2 months & just started working. I'm married & a mom of 4 kids. I work full time 3rd shift. Please feel free to add me, I could use the support & would love to get to know others who understand how hard it can be.0

Me too. Working with long commute to work. I'm a healthclub member where my 9yr old can participate in the vast activities for kids. I get home late and its hard to go home, eat (gotta eat healthy home cooked meals) and have time to work out. Let's help each other!Working mumma here! I have a one year old and work full time.

I am right there with you! I am married, have 4 year old twins, work 45-50 hours/week at a demanding job and frankly I am tired!!! I have a ton of workout DVD's and every week I swear I am going to get up at 4am and work out...and then I don't. I seriously have good intentions but I am so tired when my alarm goes off that I keep hitting snooze until I have to get up or risk being late for work. I am going to try and start walking on my lunches...I have to do something to get this weight off. BTW, I need to lose 40-50 lbs and need all the help and motivation I can get :-)0

I'm a 41yo single working mom of 3.... My oldest recently moved out, but I still have the 19yo and the 2yo at home, and it is most definitely a challenge! Feel free to add me.... the more support the better!0

Count me in. Full time single mom, also work full time. I'm gone 12 hrs a day due to a crazy commute. I have to try to get jogs in on my lunch break. My son is six and by the time I'm home with him, its homework, dinner, bath, and bed. I'm still trying to figure out how to make time to work out in the evening.0

yup, full time working mom of 2 boys ages 7 1/2 and 10. Hubby works 24hr shifts. Between work, kids, house and cottage, hobbies I neglect, there is little time left for me. I too don't have the budget or time to go to a gym - closest gym is a 15 + minute drive. I used to belong to a gym before kiddos and loved it. Now what I have found works - although not my fav - is getting up early or doing it before I start my work day. Evening are too hectic and I am too tired. I have different workout DVDs or will run/walk/bike. I found taking the kids biking in the evening is a good option too. The hardest thing for me is being consistent. Friend request sent. I am on daily. :flowerforyou:0

Single mom (3 1/2 year old daughter), working 45+ hrs/week here. On average I get up at 4am on weekdays just to try to fit in everything that needs to be done...but if I won't do it, who will?0

Sent you a friend request. I absolutely hear you! Working mom, wife, and doctoral student. Never enough time in the day!0

Single mom, full time job, part time job, I have 1 10 year old girl. I fit in a lot of workouts.
Add me!0 -
Add me if you would like! I have a 3 year old and a 20 month old. I get up at 4:45 to get in 25 mins. I leave for work at 6:20am and I'm NOT a night person. I didn't read through all the posts but my thought it to try to get the most bang for your time - I'm doing T25 and it's a GREAT hard work out in only 25 mins. Also, my husband watches the boys on the weekends so I can get a run in. Best of luck to you - it's hard with kids but SO worth it.0

Right here! Full time working married mom of 1, looking to work on baby number 2 in the next year or so.0

I go through this too!! I work at a psyche hospital, run a business and am a single mom! Seems like there aren't enough hours in the day!! If money is tight and you can't afford the gym, go on YouTube! I found Insanity videos there and get my workouts done in my living room after my son goes to bed a lot!!
Also anyone can feel free to "friend" me! Us moms have to stick together! :-)0
