in Introduce Yourself
Hi,
I'm looking for friends that have young babies and are struggling to lose weight. I have 3 kids 4yrs and under, each under 20months apart!. I have to go to bed late and get up early just to get it all done, plus hubby works late!. So when it comes to losing weight it can be a real battle. I don't have much time for myself so I use food to fill that emotional gap sometimes. I am having trouble finding friends here that really know how much I look forward to getting kudos for every little success. Logging in 5 days in a row, burning 100 calories on my elliptical (which is really hard to do with toddlers!), I'm spending so much time giving everyone else kudos for everything that's posted under their name and I'm just not getting the return I need. If you are a person who needs encouragement and is willing to also give it, I would love to link arms on this weight loss journey! I really need quality over quantity here.

Looking forward to new friends,
Charlene

    Can I join you ladies....I have 40lbs to lose I'm 28 and my kids are 4.5, 2.5 and 10months. My dh works 4-7 12hour night shifts a week. Between last week and this week he has 13 straight days of working with no day off. so I"m by myself a lot. I could use motivation, encouragement and advice from other mommas in my position.

    Feel free to add me as well. :) I'm a SAHM of 6 (yes, 6--not a typo). It's definitely a juggling act to fit in exercise with my crazy schedule. But I'm determined!

    Pick me! Pick me!

    LOL

    I'm currently on FMLA, undecided whether I'll be returning to work part time or not (first time mom, this is all really new for me). Would love to be a weight loss buddy, regardless!

    I'm a sahm to a 5yo girl and 1yo boy. Hubby works full time and in the spring is a baseball umpire and we won't see him till 11pm every night.

    I understand how hard it is trying to find time for yourself. I have lost 36lbs so far this year and aiming to lose 45lb more. Hubby is ready for baby #3 but I'm determined to get to goal first. Hopefully in 6 months. Then I can be skinny and cute for a little bit...then ill be all fat,and pregnant and have to lose weight again lol. I don't typically gain much with my babies I just start out fat and I'm looking forward to that being different next time
