Friend me. I'll help keep you motivated and offer support. I have two girls 5 and 3. And although I started gaining weight before I got pregnant my goal is ultimately just be a healthier me.0

I don't know if i have 7 yrs of baby weight or 4...either way my plan is to just be better, fitter, healthier to basically be Happy.
I started running (usng an app because i am a beginner) as it is something I am able to do along the sea front.
Alongside a 7 minute workout that my kids occassionally join in with - planking has a whole new level with them!

If you're still claiming baby weight with a 7 year old, does that mean I can do the same with an 11 year old? LOL!

I would normally say"I can't do anything with the kids". But I have actually broke down that wall and told myself that if I really want it then I have no excuse.
PS. I have absolutely no idea how to add people?!?!?0 -
Add me with a note but only if you're serious and will be active and supportive. And, I do not mean just lurking and/or liking comments. I'm a HUGE cheerleader w/ my MFP buddies and I intentionally keep my FR (friend's list) under 50. I've been on here almost 2 years and have lost 39 lbs on here and overall over 60+ all together with about 30-20 more to lose. I am a mom to two, 7 and 5 year old.

I always used to say "I can't exercise with kids, I don't have the time!" Maybe it just does take time because I now have two in school (one in first grade, one in preschool), so once they've gone for the day I've got my three year old and almost one year old at home. So when the one year old goes down for her morning nap, my three year old gets a tv show, and I get to exercising! It CAN be done, you just have to make the time for it somehow. You have to want to do it. I could make every excuse not to (there are other things that always need doing), but for once I am being selfish and taking care of Me. Other mama's should too

This is SO true! We get so wrapped up in taking care of everyone and everything else, that we put ourselves on the back burner. Truth be told though, making time for ourselves is the best investment in our families we could ever make! It isn't easy to do in the beginning - I know at least for me it wasn't. I would feel so guilty for blocking everything short of an emergency out and doing what I wanted to do for that 30 minutes-1 hour, but it does get easier.
Yes, I only have one kid, and he is older than the ones most of you have posted ages for, so maybe that helps me be able to find the time. The thing is though, ever since he was a toddler I have always had some sort of "me time" even if it wasn't spent working out. It really does help you to recharge and feel as if you can conquer the rest of your life.
Moms of school aged kids, depending upon work schedules may have a little bit easier time figuring out how to fit in the time to do something for themselves, but even with littler ones you can do it. Let the lunch dishes sit and just do them after dinner so you can do something for you while the kids take their afternoon nap. Maybe it means you have to get up a little bit earlier in the morning, or go to bed a little bit later at night. Tell the husband he has dinner duty one or two nights a week, and take the time you would spend cooking to workout, take a bubble bath, whatever.
You can find the time, even if it seems impossible at the moment. However, you won't find it until you truly decide it is a priority and you deserve it. Lose the guilt. You really do deserve it!0 -
Hi! Any of you moms feel free to add me! I'm 33, and have three kids - a 7yo boy, 5yo boy and 2yo girl. I'm trying to lose 30-40 pounds and want all the encouragement I can get!0

How can i add someone?0

How can i add someone?
It's easy! Just click on the user name of the person that you want to add. Their profile page will open up and you will see their picture and two buttons. One button says "send message" and the other button says "add as friend." Just click on the "add as friend" button. You will be able to add a message to your friend request, and then click "send". Once the person is online again, they will be alerted that they have a friend request and will either accept or deny it. (A lot of people won't accept a request if there isn't a brief message included, so I recommend doing that with each one you send. Just a quick "this is who I am and why I would like to be friends" sort of thing.)0 -
Thanks a lot0

I just had my second child almost 3 months ago, so I am looking to get back into shape. I would love some motivation buddies too!0
-
I am a mom of a 9 month old little girl. I was able to stay home with her for 3 months and then returned to work full time. I find it difficult to exercise after work as I am so tired and taking care of her. I will not let this stop me. I am starting small with my weight goals but ultimately I would like to lose about 60 pounds. I too am looking for friends in similar situations.0
-
Before my first child, I was at 97 pounds (I'm 4'11). After my second child, I went to 198. Now I'm at 145 and trying to lose another 40 pounds.....it's been nine years, lol.0
