    Yes! a place where people understand us. Moms understand moms. I work full time, have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. Unfortunately I am currently separated from my husband so my time is crunched even more. Trying to make things work with him :/ I hardly get to see my kids during the week, let alone exercise. I stayed home sick today, and as crappy as I feel, it's almost dreamy just to be able to lounge and rest. After work on Monday, I prepped meals for the week and next thing I know it's bed time. I felt horrible, taking the time away from my kids. "sigh"

    I'm new to MFP, but would love some support. I have 7 kids age 4 to 19, and I'm starting school on the 18th - next week! I have a full and busy life, but my focus has to shift somewhat if I'm going to take care of myself. We all know no one else can or will take care of us! Let's be friends.:smile:

    Add me. Mum of 3 beauties. They are aged 6,7,& 9 and a 7 weeks old pup too. Finding im doing so much running ( and i mean getting into the car and bringing them to activities) and i have no willpower at all. Trying hard, did an extreme diet and lost 10lbs in 10 days. Not so good, too quick. We need to give ourselves time and be kinder to ourselves to!

    Wow, 28lbs! Is he breastfed? My chunkiest was breastfed. It's like superhuman food. I feel bad for you having to carry him around! But must help to build muscle! lol

    Being a mom I think we tend to forget about ourselves and give everything to our child. We need to remember that taking time/care of ourselves is in fact taking care of them. I have to tell myself this daily because I have completely forgotten how to take care of myself. I want to be around to see all the wonderful things he's gonna do, I just can't seem to find the energy to make better, healthy choices. :/ I pour all my energy into my lil guy. I guess I just need to learn how to motivate myself to get a workout in while he naps instead of stuffing my face with cheese puffs. lol

    Go ahead and add me as well. I'm a mom to (almost) 5 year old twin daughters and an almost 3 year old son. I work full time and live an opposite schedule from my hubby, who just graduated from law school and is studying for the Bar exam. I wake up to get my work out in at 5:20 in the morning, otherwise I would never be able to do it.

    I have a six year old. She just started kindergarten this year. I work full time as a RN friday, sat, and sun 12 hour shifts and go to school full time during the week. I just finished my RN-BSN and am now moving on to my Masters so I am a busy bee. Any busy moms can add me. I gained a lot of weight the last five years with the added stress of nursing school and am now starting to lose it.

    You can add me. I have 2 children (11 and 8). I work fulltime and go to school fulltime as well. Occasionally I work my parttime job. Plus all the running around for the kids band, dance, and basketball. It gets to be quite a full day but I do put my exercise time in and know that I need to think about me...

    I welcome any moms to add me too! I am a Mom to three kids - a son aged 6, a son aged 4, and a daughter aged 2. I work full time outside the home too. I am doing pretty well with my healthy eating most of the time (two recent lapses) and okay with fitting in exercise, about 3 times a week. The weight is coming off slowly, but it is coming off. My original goal was to loose 60 lbs, so I have 49 more pounds to go! Good luck in your weight loss journey! MFP has been great.

    I hear ya!

    I'm a Mom to a 5 yr old boy. I work full time and with the stinkin' time change it's only light outside for maybe 45 mins. So if my husband is home in time, I'll for a 2 mile walk real quick before the sun sets.

    I then come home and do the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It's great because it's short and gets the job done. It'll kick your butt though! Tonight my son was watching me work out and he kept asking me to do things for him. "Mommy, can you open this? Mommy, what are you doing? Mommy, here, you can eat my pickle" I was dying for air as it was and he was such a distraction. LOL. The best line was "Mommy, she said not to go too deep in a lunge" Thanks buddy! I appreciate the help! I couldn't yell at him of course because he was only being a kid but OY!

    Feel free to add me! :)

I have *tons* of video type workouts (Pilates, Jillian Michaels, Skinny***** workouts). I usually stick to 20 minute workouts at home.
