Hi, I've lurked around the site for awhile and have one friend so far - would love to gain a couple more, too because having messages is fun and keeps me coming back to log stuff in just so i can check if I have a new message!

So as I said in my subject line I am a busy working mom! Of course ANY mom is a WORKING mom just by virtue of that responsibility! I work full time in an office position. I have 3 boys, ages 3, 5 and 9. My husband is self employed and works long hours 3/4 of the year. He is a good provider, but not so much help with little ones and housework. So I juggle a lot.

I love to walk/jog outside and do lots of dvd workouts inside. Leslie Sansone is one of my faves. I also have the 30 Day Shred and some Chalene.

Anyone interested in being pals, let me know!!! :flowerforyou:

    Feel free to request me. I work a full time job as well, spend an hour each way in my commute. Have a huge house to keep clean and two little boys dirting it as soon as I clean it. Oh the joy of being a mommy. :drinker:

    Hi there! I'll add you! I'm a full-time working (and single) mom of a 3yo. I work 36hours one week and 48 hours the next week. I do at least 30 mins of cardio a day, even if it is just getting out and walking around the neighborhood. My little boy loves it because he gets to ride lol. I also go to the gym 4-5 days a week, depending on my schedule and I love the elliptical and do strength training.. one day upper body and the next lower body

    Add me too! I have 4 teenagers, 2 part-time, one full-time and one leaving for college in August. I work full-time and go to school either part-time or full-time depending how I feel during registration that semester. I also do animal rescue and live to serve my 3 cats, great dane and princess weiner dog! And if I'm standing still, I'm depressed because I don't know how to relax after 18 years of living like this! LOL. ;D

    I haven't added any friends yet as I haven't quite figured it out, but as soon as I do, I will add you! I am a working mom of a 15 year old daughter (she will be tomorrow), a 13 year old son (He turned 13 today!) and an 11 year old son (He will be 12 in August). I am very lucky in the fact that my husband works only 40 hour weeks(except when he may be on call- electrician) and he is a huge help around the house! I still feel like there isn't enough time in the day and was always making excuses about not having enough time to get in exercise or eating right. A couple of weeks ago I made the decision to get back to a healthier lifestyle. Like many of you, I hated the fat person that I have become. I am working really hard at learning to love who I am but I have always been a person with very low self esteem. Even when I was in high school, I always thought I wasn't smart enough, pretty enough and certainly not skinny enough. This forum has helped tremendously in me not feeling alone with those thoughts. I love Leslie Sansone too! I am going to get the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred but not do it as she intended but to have a change in my exercise routine. Cheers to all the hard working mom's whether working from home or otherwise!

    Hi there! You can definitely add me as well! I am a working mom as well with 3 kids - boy 14, girl 8 and boy 6. My husband works a ton even after he leaves the office and only chips in on household stuff every once in a while. So, I hear ya on juggling a lot! Would love to meet other mom's dealing with similar issues!

    I am also a working mom with a husband that works opposite shifts than I do. Makes finding me time after work hard. But I am determined to get fit. I deserve it. I will send you a friend request. I have two boys.. one 14 and one 10. Good luck.
