Hi, call me Stephy, or Steph. I have two toddlers (d4 and s2.5). I have very little time to exercise, but I do like to run when I can. I try to make my significant other help me watch the kids while I exercise, but he doesn't always help. Any other mothers (regardless of how many kids) in the same boat? I started a family weight competition with my in-laws and I want to beat them. I started out a month ago at 170. I weighed myself this morning and I'm 154.8! My goal is 135, and my height is 5'4".

    Hi there, I am Micki, mom of a 17 month old (and a 17 year old). I have really struggled with losing the baby weight this time around. I have been stuck at 139 for almost a year and a half. I am 5'2" and trying to get down to 124. My daughter doesn't sleep much at one time, so I am always somewhat tired and really lack the motivation to workout. Hoping to hit my goal by Christmas and start wearing my regular clothes and actually feel good about how I look again.

    - Steph.... awesome job last month!! Keep it up.

    Hi! I am also a mom of two toddles: 3 yr old and 18 month old. My husband was deployed for the first year of my second child's life so working out was not even an option. I also have a full-time job and was in school. So I understand the frustration with trying to lose the weight and manage the family. Keep up the good work!
