    I have a 16 month old and trying to lose all the weight I gained from the pregnancy so we can start trying for another! I would definitely be interested in a mommy (or daddy) group!

    there's also a sahm/d thread. it's not a team or exclusive or anything like that. you can lurk or jump in whenever it suits you. :happy:

    we're just p's trying to lose wt, get fit and support each other in these efforts.

    I am a working mother w/ 2&1/2 year old son. I don't seem to have a problem meeting other mothers, but very few of them are close to my age. My son is the main reason I finally decided to get serious about weight loss & better health.

    GREAT, so what are all of you doing for excersize?

    Im lucky to have my husband woking Swingshift. (3pm-11pm) so after I drive my older two, to school in the mornings I eaither come home and jog w/ hubby pushing the jogging stroller, or I go to the gym while he stays home w/ the baby.
    Two days a week I do a double workout day. I run/walk in the mornings, then do a run and strength training at the gym and I bring the 3 kids with me. There is a "parents room" w/ a few machines and gated off play area, so its really helpful. My older boys play basketball in the gym while I run, so they are excersizing too and staying busy! =)

    Hi, I am a SAHM of 2 boys ages 4 1/2 and 2 1/2. I started exercising in Jan. and I go to the gym 5 or 6 days a week for 60-65 min. Luckily, the gym I use has a child watch area which really helps me out since I don't know what I would do if I had them with me.

    I am a work from home Mom of 3 boys, ages 10, 61/2, and 23 months. I recently joined a Gym which I have been going to faithfully in the late morning at least 3 days a week. I was able to loose the pregnancy weight with the first two, which I had in my 20's. However, I had my last baby in my 30's and am now still struggling with "the last 10 lbs!!" I just pray by keeping a strict count of my calories and working out regularly will eventually lead me there.

    Wow you guys are all awesome!
    I am a WAHM (very part time bookkeeping, I really hardly work) of a 3 yr old and 2 yr old :)
    I started January 1 this year and have gone from 215 to 182, Im about half way there, Im a decent height so I'll be happy at 145 :)
    I joined my local YMCA because the childcare is included with the dues! so reasonable! but I still don't make it as often as I like, trying for 3 times a week but I'm lucky if make it once! I'm hoping to get back that motivation I had 5 months ago that carried me this far, time to go look at some old skinny photos!

    Hey everyone! I'm a SAHM of a 2-year-old girl, but i'm going back to work in a week or so!

    I get up everday at 5AM with my hubby and use our treadmill for 45 minutes. I also try to use the WII FIt Boxing game as much as i can. I try and only miss one day a week of working out.

    Hi everyone! I'm the mother of 2 children 16 months apart. I work part-time (lucky enough to bring my kids to work with me when they're not in school). My daugher is 5 and in preschool. My son is 6 and in kindergarten. As far as he is concerned, I'm a SAHM because I finish work before he gets out of school.

    I have a 3 yr old boy and a 15 month old boy. I work full-time, so it's really hard for me to find the time and/or energy to exercise.

    I have 2 girls.
    Alina Jasmine will be 9 in October and Sara Isabella will be 4 in December.

    I do what ever exercise that my 3 y/o let's me do. I jog in place, hop on my treadmill, pop in an exercise DVD (tae bo or turbo jam), use my Wii, do some of the exerrcises on Exercise On Demand or just go for a walk.

    I have a 6 year old girl, Caitlin and a 3.5 yr old boy Connor!!

    Alot of times I leave work, run and then go get them. I was working out at the house with them but they didnt enjoy it so now if I pick them up a little later they are cool with it because they dont want to sit through it. I recently got divorced from their dad but he's been helpful b/c we live across from a high school/elementary school and he watches them on the playground while I run on the track.

    I am probably the oldest mom here lol but it's nice to meet you all.

    I have 4 children, ages 21, 19, 3 (in June) and 1-1/2. I work full time in IT and I teach computer science at a college and the local prison (as a volunteer) part time (I work about 60 hrs a week), I also go to grad school (just one class at a time!). I may joke about my husbands part time slacker job at a video store (he has the same computer degrees I have) but he is the main caretaker of our kids - and he does a fabulous job! I couldn't do it without him.

    It's hard to find time to exercise, so I get up at 5 am so that I can get a workout in before I have to be at work at 8. My 19 yr old grumps about watching the kids (she's in college), but sometimes I have her watch them while I go for a quick run. Sometimes I have to wait until the kids are in bed (mainly my son, the 1-1/2 yr old) goes to bed so that I can sneak a workout in,

    Hi, I have two little boys--4 and almost 2. I work half-time, and they're in preschool/day care just over 20 hours/week. My work schedule is very flexible (and I am NOT a morning person--early morning workouts are pure torture!), so I try to run 3-4 times/week, on the days they're in school and on the weekends when my husband is at home.
    I'd really, really, really like to lose the last few baby pounds by June 4 (my younger son's 2nd birthday, and I'll also be in my brother's wedding the next weekend), but we've been passing germs around the house and I've been having a hard time fitting in work-outs, first because of sick kids at home with me, then because I got it (nothing worse than trying to run with a sinus infection when the slightest movement makes your teeth hurt!).

    I have three boys, 6 1/2, 4 1/2, and 21 months. I work full night shift, so finding time to work out is very difficult. I am trying to watch my diet and just recently started running again after a 7 year hiatus! I would not trade my crazy life for anything, but I wouldn't mind having my old body back! Good luck to everyone on here.

    Hi I have two children a boy of 14 years and a girl whos 2. They both keep me very busy. I work full time but it's shift work some 7.30 to 15:00 shifts and some 15:00 to 23:00 shifts. i find this so frustrating at times to sort dinners and get some exercise in. I try to go to curves and do the 30 minute work out 5 days a week and walk in and out of work which is a 40 minute walk.
