mom at home 3 kids!!!NEED to lose it!

Hi there! Feel free to add me as a friend and we can support each other! I'm also thinking about losing the baby weight, though my youngest is only 3 weeks old, I'm just so tired of being so heavy! I'm sporting an F cup here and have about 85 pounds more to lose, and I hope to do it in a timely manner!

We can do it! MFP has already helped in just keeping me accountable and the success of others has kept me inspired!

You sure found the right place to come for support. I LOVE this site, as I have found a lot of supporting friends. Also, I get a lot of tips from others on the same journey as we are.

You took the first step in coming here. If you set reasonable goals, you will be able to lose that G cup !! You just have to take it one day at a time. I found that by not trying to change everything at once help me a lot. I did SMALL changes that I kept and just kept on adding new changes here and there. Since January, my food and exercise diaries have improved a lot. And I don't feel deprived since I allow one free day a week.

Feel free to add me as a friend. I find it very motivational to have someone giving positive reinforcement on my daily accomplishments, as small as they may be.

Congrats on making the first big step to success. I had my doubts about MFP, as I have tried to lose weight in the past and not once had I succeeded. I am a mother of two, 3 and 1, and between pregnancies and college weight I packed on 50 unwanted lbs. After 7 weeks of using MFP I have dropped 10lbs and 6 inches. I am completely amazed by this site, and if you follow it and log consistently you WILL see results! Being a SAHM is a tough job (I do in home daycare, so I probably face a lot of the same challenges as you), I wish you the best on your journey. Feel free to add me if you'd like some extra support

Welcome! I'm also a homeschooling mom and know how hard it is sometimes to find the time to workout and make healthy eating choices. Good luck in your journey!

I feel ya girl!!! I'm a SAHM with 3 kids too and I also homeschool - VICIOUS CYCLE AIN'T IT? Feel free to add me if you like! We can get through this together!!!:noway: :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

Hello,
My name is Tammy. I am also a stay at home mom, but I'm single. Recently divorced. Anyhow, I find it best to set moderate goals. I used to home school and what I would do is we would have exercise time. we all would go to the local park and I would make and obstcal course for my children. It can be something as simple as bringing yarn and attaching it to the swings. have one child pull the swing while the swing is up the others race under it. You can also use the play structure and use a timer to see who can get through it first, of course mom has to compete too. We also did lots of nature walks. We'd collect items from nature and make a collage out of them. If we saw bugs or bird the children were to write a description of what they saw. My younger ones would draw a picture. There is so much fun you can have and they can learn and you can be active. I also cut my meals way down and actually used measuring cups to I could track how much I was eating. After a few weeks of this I didn't need the cups anymore and got used to smaller portions. At first it's very hard. Good Luck and add me as a friend if you like.

Hi! I'm a Mom of 5 ages 7,soon to be 6, 4, 17 months and almost 3 months. I have a hard time giving myself extra time for exercise. I started getting up a little early and doing a quick walk on the treadmil and then would do another work out while they were napping and then another when they went to bed. I admit, it's hard not to finish something of there's when they are done eating. I've learned to measure everything out and I also admit to keeping up my food diary. i will even plan ahead so I know what I'm eating the next day. Feel free to friend me. I also learned that it's OK to forgive myself and get back up on the horse. I know that I can do it and I will with 1 step at a time.
