Hi all!
I am looking for other moms of little ones to help motivate me, and who understand the struggles of having young kids. I have a 2.5 year old, and a 6-month old. I feel like I ought to be skinny from chasing these two around all the time! Lost the "baby weight" but I wasn't exactly happy with the weight before these two either :)

Please add me as a friend!
Thanks!

  • Hi, I have a 4.5 year old and a 13 month old. I have struggled with post pardom and regular depression which made me struggle with my weight for the last 5 years! I was doing fine just before I got pregnant with my second and I only gained 5 lbs during it. Then post pardom hit me again and I lost the initial baby weight but bounced back up to my last pregnant weight! Then I finally talked to my doctor about meds and it's helped me a lot!! I have just started my journey about 2.5 weeks ago and going strong!! I rely on my hubby for exercise support and I'm learning behavior modification! The point is that you need a support network!! I found mine with my husband and doc, what us yours? I am more than willing to help support you! I know a lot about nutrition it just took me awhile to apply it! I also know a lot for my age, life experience! So friend me and we can have a successfully journey!!

    Hi! I have a 2 yr old and an 8 month old and I stay home with them during the day. I definitely understand the feeling that we should be skinnier with all the running around we do with the kids! Sending you a friend request!

    Hi! I have a 3.5 year old and a 2 year old and they are my biggest motivation to lose weight! I want to be able to keep up with them and be a good role model for them for a long, long time. And I want to have a lot more pictures of me for them to look back on in the future lol! Anyone can add me as a friend, I love sharing encouragement and support!

    hi and welcome!!!
    feel free to add me- i have a 4 1/2 yr old, a 3 yr old and a 9 month old. i work full time shifts. i know exactly how hard it is. but i'm 10kgs lighter now than i was when i got pregnant with my 1st! just finding the time and motivation at the same time is the biggest challenge i think. but then when you stop making excuses and start finding solutions, that's when things will start to fall into place :-)

    good luck
  • Hello welcome aboard feel free to add me as well I am married with 3 kids 14yrs, 3yrs and 4yrs I am trying to lose 30lbs!!!

    Add me. I have a 4 year old and a 3 year old. BOYS 12.5 months apart.
  • I am a mommy of 2 kiddos. My oldest is 5 and youngest is 22months. I totally understand how hard it is to get those workouts in w/little ones. My husband works nights so I am a single mommy 4 nights out of the week and after working all day then coming home to take of the boys I just lost all my motivation to workout. But MYFITNESSPAL has helped me out so much. I just became a user of this site a couple of weeks ago but didn't really start becoming active until this week. It has been a tremendous help. I'm going to send you a friend request.

    HI! Anyone can add me if you'd like. I have three kiddos, 4, 3 and 2.5 yrs old, very close together. Crazy, what was I thinking?? I work out after the kids fall asleep at night; can't master waking up at 5:30am when one of the kids has early morning wakings, too.

    I had resigned myself last year to be the chubby mom that my kids would remember growing up, but turned that thinking around this spring. I've lost 24 pounds and am five away from my first goal. Having young kids doesn't make this easy at all, but it's doable! Good luck!
