    Add me up! I have been a stay at home mom for 5 years now. My son is now in first grade and goes to school all day. For the first time since he was born, I actually have time to myself. That being said, I am working on undoing all the wrongs I've done to my body. I go to the gym 5x a week and couldn't be MORE dedicated. I am also in several challenges here on the site.

    I'm here for you if you're here for me! :)

    Stay at home mom of 3 ages 7, 4, and 2. I also homeschool the older 2 so finding time and energy to fit in exercise is a challenge!

    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

    I'm a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom to 4 sons! Even though my kids are older now (ages 22, 18, 12 & 9), I can relate in so many ways. Also, hubby worked out of town for the first 12-13 years of our marriage so lots of similarities there even if the situation isn't quite the same. Please feel free to "friend" me if you'd like. I always try to be extremely good in the "encouragement" department.

    Hello to you and the other moms and dad too.

    I have 5 children. My husband is gone most weeks. At first it was impossible but I started sacrificing things to make the time. "Me" has to be important too. Every 5 minutes I can find to workout is a step in the right direction. Feel free to add me if you would like.

    Hello ladies I am 23 I have a 2 almost 3 year old daughter and 1year old son! I am nearly a single parent as my husband is in the usmc and he is always gone. But it's all fine! I have lost 40 pounds from the birth of my son which put my back to 163. So I am trying to lose the last 30 pounds to put me at goal . I wake up at 5 or 4:30 in the morning and do insanity! It's super hard but I love it and just finished week two! After insanity I do anything from Jillian Michaels to leslie sansone 5 mile walk. I try to burn as close to 1000 calories before the kids get up as I can! I love workout DVDs when the weather is bad and then pop the Kia in the double jogging stroller when the weather is nice as a bonus workout! The kids live getting outside anyway. Anyone that would like can add me as a friend I am serious about losing weight and wouldove to help the best I can! Rachel
