Wow. I feel old. I am 42 with a 9 year old son and 12 year old daughter. I work full time in Information Technology. My husband is in security and works full time too. I work out usually 6 days a week for an hour and I am fighting with the last 10 or 12 pounds. Most days, I don't know which end is up. The kids activities truly take it all out of me. This group is a great idea! I don't think a lot of people can appreciate the amount of energy it takes....unless you've been there0

So how is everyone doing in staying within their daily calories? I am having such a hard time- I will do great all morning and early afternoon then by 3:00 its all down hill I dont snack after dinner or it would be so much worse.
I am drinking at least 64oz of water everyday though so thats a good thing- I havent worked out yet this week and I am not making excuses just trying to focus on eating right then next week when I get my HRM and 30 day Shred in the mail I am hittin it really hard- I can definitely figure out how to fit in a 20-27 minute workout in after my hectic day of work, dinner, kids, bath well you know the deal..0 -
My hubby and I joined the gym last week and have been very dedicated. I was having trouble staying in my calories, but now on gym days I have trouble getting all my calories.
Here are my goals:
Drink more water :drinker: This guy is double fisting the H2O! (I'm not going to put a specific volume yet, just more than I do now)
Stay in calories
Go to a spinning class once a week
Work out 3x a week
Good luck everyone with your goals!0 -

good luck with that when i increased my water I was getting 32oz down without a problem but it was the last 32oz that was giving me a hard time- now I am easily doing it everyday and some days a little more my downfall is on the weekends I dont drink my water- at work I do cause i wont drink anything else--0 -
okay, here are my goals.
Kick the soda habit! This one is killing me,but I am slowly but surely getting there.
Eat more veggies.
Work out 4 -5 days a week,even if it's just taking a walk with the stroller.
That's all I've got for now.0 -

Sounds good to me. Are you drinking regular soda or diet soda? I love regular soda but I have been trying diet soda to give me a different taste rather than just drinking water- I have tried A&W diet rootbeer and Coke Zero and both are very good and low in sodium not to mention zero calories0 -
Do part time jobs count? I am just mommy by day and our friendly Starbucks barista on nights and weekends. :flowerforyou: I work over 30 hours a week.0

I'll be honest I have struggled the last few days stayin in my calories.
Parent teacher conferences, make-up labs, etc so I have been snacking more then usual or eating bigger meals then planned....
Haven't been able to work out as much this week either as normal.0 -
Good morning everyone and welcome to those who have just joined us.
Wednesday I had a bad calorie/fat g day. Thursday I tried to turn it all around and head in the right direction. My 30 Day Shred hasn't arrived yet, but it did mail on 11/5. I'm (im)patiently waiting.
Still holding at a 1 pound loss. Hard not to let that frustrate me.
Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

Hello! :bigsmile:
Can I join?
I am 34 years old, I work full time as a welfare caseworker , specifically with homeless women and families. My husband works full time also as a training supervisor at our local mine. We live in a big mining town here in Canada. I have 3 children, an 11 yr old boy, and 6 and 4 yr old girls. I also have 2 big dogs at home, who love to be walked, and that gets me out exercising whether I want to or not :laugh:
My husband and I have struggled with our weight for years, he ate right along with me during the pregnancies
He and I keep each other motivated to work out and eat healthy.
I have about 30 lbs to go to get to my optimal weight, and this is the 3rd time I have lost those same 30 lbs... I can work on losing, but maintaining is sooo hard for me!
Anyway, I love this board, and all you wonderful, supportive people! MFP has no doubt been a key to keeping me on track!

Mmmmmm Starbucks, my favorite. I have moved from mochas and frappuccinos to regular coffee, sugar free syrup and skim milk.0
