Hey busy mama, I'm a mom of three boys. 8,5 and 8 months. I use to be in the gym everyday before this last pregnancy and now the "I have no time" excuse has become my worst nightmare. Looking for women to go crazy at getting back into that body you had or even better the best body you have yet to achieve.

I hear ya!0

I feel you! I school my four kiddos at home (one a four-year old). I'm also a freelance developer. I've had to learn to split up my workouts, and make space in my home for equipment. Nighttime workouts, and being almost over-the-top during recess with the kids have become "the norm".

Added you I'm a busy single mom and a student.0

Do you have any gyms in your area that provide daycare? You get a little break from the little ones and get to exercise ++0

I have never been a gym rat. Always too intimidating. I have 7 kiddos ages 10 to 5months(no twins). I also home school so little to no time to myself. I hope to start running again once we move(my treadmill is stuck in the garage). I need movers to move it inside bc my husband can't help me move it(medically he cant lift anything over 15lbs).0

Actually I do and for the year it's 350.00 not counting the daycare price I'd have to pay per child each visit.
I have a 9 month old and a 5 year old..he starts school in Sep.

Oh I use to. Every single day. Just as of late I can't find the time. My 9 month old is still exclusively breast feeding and my husband is self conscious about me getting fit again. Right now I am getting my diet under control and sticking to it, that is the hard part. Working out is the easy part.0 -

Way to go mama! I'm a nationally certified phlebotomist and an MA. I choose to stay home, the hubby prefers it too.
Being super mom and taking care of yourself is hard work. 2 -

Sometimes... No, Niner, you can't. Sometimes it's a luxury to have a shower. Sometimes it's a miracle to sit down for a few mins... And often that's only in the bathroom, and with company.7 -

Hahahaha I am dying! Let the truth out!
Yes and even in the bathroom my youngest crawls his way in. If I want a shower I shower at 6:30am after I nurse my baby and before I put my 8 year old on the bus while my 5 year old sleeps.3 -

Yup! the struggle is real. I work night shift and my little one is 2.5 years old. Those two don't seem to mix very well. Add in trying to work out and eat semi healthy.... HARD0 -

I use to get an hour lunch and take that to get what I could in. It's hard when you're spending all your time caring for everyone but yourself.2 -

This is exactly it. How do you manage it all? ya know? Something's gotta give. Lately, it's been the house work haha2 -
Man that is my problem. My house though if I let it slip one day, I cringe and feel like I gotta bleach everything. I have 3 sons, two dogs, a cat and my husband is a mechanic. What I let go of, is myself. I'm last with everything. Lol
Feel free to add me merrysailor880 -

Echoing the above... Sometimes no you can't. I am lucky to get a shower most days with my 4 month old.1 -
Single mother to a six year old, full time employee, and part time student here! I know how it feels to be busy ALL THE TIME. I'm going to add you!0

Clearly no experience in this phase of life. I just focus on nutrition bcuz exercise is not happening unless I'm walking the grocery store and Aldi is not that big.2 -
That is where I'm at. Besides we all know what you eat is most important and harder than working out. You can't out run what you eat. And what you eat in private you wear out in public.1

I'll maintain if i eat well, but to lose, i need to exercise0

Busy as always. I have a 6 year old and 2 year old, work part time (till this fall), and grad student. Gah... I've always been convinced to complete a 1/2 marathon in July.
Now to find the time. haha
Add me if you want. I'm always up for new and motivating friends!1 -

When ur a stay at home mom, its difficult to get even few mins to urself. Everything and everone in house comes before u and still everyone feels like ur not doing enough. I've been a sahm for7years and believe me there always more work pending, and taking care of urself seems selfish even though it's not.2 -
I'm a mommy of 3 also, two boys 7 and 3, and my little girl 9 months!! I could use some fellow mommy's who know what I go through on the daily for support. We got this ladies!! Add me!!1

Hi! I have a 4 year old and 10 month old. They are my number one priority but I'm making sure that I focus on myself too. I have to make sure that I eat and sleep well or else I can't function to take care of them as well as what they deserve. Anyone can add me!2
