Hey everyone,

So i am new to this and I am not really sure what to say. I am a 27 yr old single mom of 2 boys. They keep me active but I am a horrible snacker. I need new ways to workout while at home with next to no equipment. I am also very much in need of supportive people around me.
Who wants to be my friend!!! :happy:

    I'll be your friend... another chubby mommy here! I'm sure we can both use all the support we can get. I think this is a great place to find it.

    Good luck!

    I'm not single but have 3 kids and know how hard it can be to fit in time for yourself. I workout at home (never even been in a gym) and enjoy it. Feel free to add me if you would like too. :)

    Hello. Have you tried Yoga? You just need a computer and a mat. You can take "classes" via Youtube (try Polly Yoga is Yummy).

    I'm a single mother as well. I've found that it's easier in the summer/nice weather with taking walks with the kids or taking them to the park while I run the track or something. In the winter, though, I suggest workout DVDs. I personally like a lot of the dancing ones - they don't require any equipment, and there are tons of ones to choose from depending on your personal interest. I'm a bit fond of the hip hop ones. They make me feel a bit silly but happy at the same time. There are also a lot of exercises such as core exercise videos. Once you're into it a bit, try harder things like Jillian.

    I'm a single mom with 2 girls. I gained 50+ pounds with each child and I had 2. I'm on my journey know to lose the weight which I'd like to think I gained because of the stress of the men. So I worked off most of the baggage from my first ex. Now I'm working of the excess baggage from the second ex. LOL. I'm hoping soon there will just be me left - with no baggage!
