I'm 32, from Australia, and mummy to a beautiful boy who has just passed 12 weeks old. I'm ready to start focussing on my weight and wellbeing. I'm looking for MFP friends to offer mutual support and encouragement! :smiley:

    Finding any time for yourself is so hard Steph! The other day I did a mini workout while wearing my son in the baby bjorn, I found a tutorial on YouTube! He is a bit of a boofer, around 7kgs, so I figure carrying him about is a bit of a workout in itself

    I'm a mum of 3, in England. I've got a 5 year old son who goes to school (kids start at 4 in England), a threenager daughter, and a 9 month old girl. My husband does shift work, so I'm pretty busy. I'm on maternity leave right now, but go back to work after Easter. I work 3 days a week as a teacher. Busy, busy.

    It's been great on maternity leave as I can fit going to the gym round my husband's shifts. On his late shift week I go in the morning, and on his earlies week I go in the afternoon/evening.

    Hi, I'm a new mom too. I have a beautiful and energetic 9 month old. I find I get my exercises in (I use fitnessblender videos - they're free) when she is napping. Feel free to add me :smile:

    Hi, I'm single mum to a 5 month old baby boy. I've been pretty seriously on a health kick since the new year, with a few weeks off when things got too much! But been a solid two weeks of daily exercise and 1400cals. I workout when baby is sleeping, sometimes he wakes up and I put him in his bouncy chair and make as many funny faces as I can. I think he's entertained by all the jumping around!

    Please add me! It's all motivation :)

    Looking forward to more regular naps so I can get more workouts in at home. Will check out fitnessblender Susan!
    Have just joined a gym with a crèche, although my son was crying so much they had to get me early today :( and I plan on going to swim laps on weekends/when husband is home early. You are doing so well to fit it in around 3 kids and a shift worker husband Dawnie! Inspiration!

    You're doing really well to be right back to the gym alees. I enjoy it and never did before... Mostly just as it is some me time! Love swimming as I can just clear my mind.

    Hi, my baby is 8weeks old today. I gained so much weight during my pregnancy so I'm really looking forward to losing the weight & getting my body back. Just started gym.

    Hello, I am a mother of two boys. My 1st is 22 months, and my 2nd is only 13 days old. I managed to lose all my pregnancy weight with my first, and I am about 15 lbs away from reaching my pre pregnancy weight with my 2nd. However once I am done losing that, I would like to continue losing more. ( I was overweight to begin with for both pregnancies) Feel free to add me if you like, and we can help motivate each other. :)

    Good work on getting back to the gym annoiye!! Used to hate it but now I like be the time to myself!
    A brand new bub Kristen!!! I'm in the same situation as you, overweight before pregnancy. So I'm back at my pre-pregnancy weight but still need to get in better shape.
