I've used MFP on and off again over the past couple of years, but am ready to really commit to myself to make this happen and could use someone to help keep me accountable! I am a mom of 4 - all under the age of 11 - and work full time. I struggle so hard to make the time to work out - I love it when I do - but always feel like there are so many other things I need to accomplish for my family when I'm not at work that I just don't make the time. That stops today! I'm tired of feeling frumpy and my clothes not fitting right.

I'm hoping to lose at least 20 pounds, but more importantly, get some tone back! I'd love some support! :smile:

    Just keep reminding yourself that you have to be healthy and fit in order to be around for your kids! Plus, you are teaching them a great lesson - how to live a healthy lifestyle! My 5 year old is very excited about riding her bike alongside of me this coming spring, maybe getting your kids involved will help ease the guilt that we working moms feel when we want a little me time!

    GOOD LUCK _ YOU CAN DO IT~:smile:
