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.

    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

    Right now ur only work out should be loving on that baby girl :)

    But after that I like the 30 day shred. I bought a treadmill on Craigslist for $60 and that was the best purchase ever

    I'm a stay at home mom of 3 too. 7 yrs, 5yrs, and 20mos. My husband works crazy hours and is rarely home. So I'm left to my own devices for entertainment.....thus I need to lose weight! I would love to have another SAHM who can help me stay motivated even when I've been up 4 times in the night with the baby and the last thing I want to do is eat healthy or exercise. You can add me as a friend

    Hi! You can add me. I'm a stay at home mom also. I have 2 boys & a stepson. 7 years, 2 1/2 and 4 months. I'm also a student currently taking online classes. I found it really hard to get to the gym because my husband doesnt get off work until 5 some days so I bought a treadmil. I usually do my workouts around 9-930 after the kids go to sleep. I'm constently staying up until after midnight just to get some "mommy time". I know how you feel!

    Hi, I am also a Stay at home mom. I have 2 kids: Anna Grace who is 6 years old and in 1st grade, and my son Jacob, who is 4 years old and in all day Pre-K. I love being at home. My kids are no longer at home during the day except on Holidays, but I take them back and forth to school and do housework.

    I need encouragement as well. I am a stay at home with 2 yr old, 1 yr old, and one that will be joining us in July. At this point my goal is to gain at most 15 lbs (doc said under 20). I was doing horrible before I got pregnant, gain one we lose it the next and it kept up like that. I need a little help I think. My husband works 12 hour shifts as well so the days he is home he does NOTHING but sit. Which I understand to a point. He gives me grief for not leaving the house but he doesn't either. Anyway, need some help.

    I will send a request just to give you support! How I wished when my kiddos were younger for a forum like this! I have been a stay at home mom for over 15 years, so although I am not currently experiencing what you are now, I have in the past. {{ hugs}} to you for making the choice to stay at home!
