Stay at home moms

We've got a lot of SAHM's on here, but we never talk.:ohwell: How's everyone doing? How does being a SAHM affect your weight loss? What would you say is your biggest struggle as a SAHM (weight loss or otherwise)?

ha, trying not to snack all day on their snacks!

Right now, I'm also struggling with time. I have 4 children ages 8, 6, 4, and 2. I get tired of people thinking that Im home all day so I should have no trouble exercising, cleaning etc .... I get up at 5 most days to get my exercise done, because I will not have another moment to even think about it until about 9 at night.

Hi! I'm a sahm to a beautiful soon to be 4 yr old disabled little girl. Good luck to everyone!

Another SAHM here. I am a mother of 3, 7 year old daughter and twin 3 year old boys! I am also looking for friends..
I so here you on SAHM have LOTS of time (I wish). Between feeding the kids all day then cleaning up the messes my 3 year olds make my house is a disaster. I spend most of my time doing laundry and in the kitchen! With my little monsters you can't take your eyes off them for a minute or I will have flour and other dry goods all over my house LOL. I work out in our downstairs so I take the 3 year olds down with me and they play while I work out. NOT easy to keep them contained but I have made it my mission to work out 6 days a week. When it gets warm outside I plan on taking them on walks everyday in addition to my workouts. Good luck to you all on your journey to change your lives!!

I'm a SAHM. I have 4 kids, one is grown and on her own. The other three are girl (almost 4), girl (almost 8), and boy (13). The 7 and 13 yo are special needs with autism, NLD, and ADHD.

I never had a problem with my weight until I became a SAHM almost 8 years ago. I'd love to have some more friends, so feel free to add me.

Ahhh, 2 in the afternoon. Workouts behind me, baby in bed, "big kids" in watching a movie (my apologies to any of you excellent parents who don't believe in using the TV as a babysitter). I just had a long, hot shower with no interruptions. No worrying about the baby getting into the spice cupboard and covering himself with garlic and coconut extract (not a good combo). No tattling. No lengthy 6 year old stories through the shower curtain. No rushing because I have to be somewhere. That, My Friends, is pure bliss!

What is your bliss?

I am a sahm of an almost 3 year old little girl. My workouts revolve around her nap and bed times....lol Add me if you'd like!

I'm a SAHM of four, though I think "stay at home" is a misnomer since I am always in the car going to doctor's appointments, flute lessons, Taekwondo, 4-H, church activities and whatever else they happen to be involved with. I also homeschool all four of them so we keep pretty busy. I have two high schooler's, a 5th grader and a 1st grader. I also have 24 chickens (8 adult, 16 chicks) that we're busy playing with! My oldest DD and I are doing P90X together which is awesome! My husband was going to but I think he flaked out so it's nice my DD is still hanging in there with me. Our whole family does Taekwondo together which is really fun too.

Holy Cow! I will never complain about my busy life again (or at least not today )
