in Introduce Yourself
Are there any out there, or is there anyone who would be interested in joining one??

I'm a 29 year old mama of one crazy active little boy who will be 2 in October. He is extremely busy, always moving, and is giving me a run for my money. We have some great days, and also lot of days where I feel like I'm drowning and just trying to keep my head above water. I would LOVE to find some other moms who are in the same boat as me or find a group of ladies who can be be a support system for each other. Mom life is tough and it's only the beginning for me!

I hit my highest weight about a year after having my son, which was about a year ago, at 283-- less than 20 pounds away from 300 pounds. I started my "journey" on July 14th at 271 and my current weight as of today is 268. I am beyond determined and have set mini-goals for myself to hit until I reach my final goal which is to be between 160-170 by June of next year for mine & my fiance's 10 year anniversary and wedding on June 8th, 2019. If I make that goal, that will have been a little over 120 pounds lost, and as embarrassed as I am of my body, I fully plan on taking & sharing pictures every 10 pounds lost to document my journey to a healthy body for inspiration, for myself and others.

Please feel free to add me, and if there's enough interest in a support group for SAHMs, I'll have one up and running as soon as possible! Thanks everyone! :)

- Hope

    Hey there!! I'm currently a SAHM I have a 12 year old, a 5 month old, and I'm a Bonus Mon to a6 year old. It's so easy to grab the kids snacks or run to grab fast food with them, let's keep in touch Mamas!

    I am a 25 years old stay at home mom. I have two wild, rambunctious little boys ages 2 and 4.
    I would definitely join a group dedicated to SAHM's.

    Awesome!!! I will add all of you and get a group going tonight -- I'm thinking maybe we should keep it private and limit it to under 30 or so people?? Hope that doesn't sound rude, I just think it'd be easier to genuinely get to know a small group instead of having 100 people posting so often you miss things and have a hard time keeping up. Either way, I'm excited there are other mamas with young crazy boys! I love my son but, wow. :)

    I have a 5yo boy and a 3yo girl, and a 11 month old boy.

    4 and 5 year old boys need an outlet for their energy. Like outdoor time. Trampoline park. Playground. Bike riding. They just have a lot of energy and don't do well if they don't get it out. Mine isn't getting enough because we've had serious heat indexes, so I don't like to get him worked up outside.

    I’d love to join this group too!
    I’m 34, and have a little boy that will be 2 in October as well!
    I find eating well as a SAHM to be WAY more difficult versus when working!

    I'm way older at 45 and have one boy who is 10. Being a stay at home mom has its own set of challenges like finding time for yourself to workout especially when they aren't in school. I do love my life though and get lots of me time but sometimes it's just kind of exhausting
