in Introduce Yourself
Just wondering if there are more people like me on here. Single mom, two kids, and have to put 10x more planning then the average person to get to the gym and eat right. I work 50 hours a week, go to the gym anywhere from 4 to 6 times, and still have to get the kids home, fed, and in bed by 8:30! AAAHHHH! Some days I just don't know how I can do it anymore. Would love to make some friends that are in the same position as me. :) And no, there dad does not help. Booh :(

    same here.. single mom, a bit older (32)... with 7 year old twin boys... one with special needs and mine are some wild and crazy little guys. i work 40-45 hrs a week with a 1 hr drive to the office and 1 hr drive home each day. I still manage to work out 5 times a week and cook not only healthy dinner, but healthy breakfast and pack lunches for my kids to save them from 'pizza is a vegetable' at school. It's tough, but we're incredibly strong for it!

    I only have one kid so I get it!! I used to work two jobs and was just now able to switch to one and that has helped enormously, but it's still hard! Keep up the great work though!!

    Single mom, 2 kid (ages 2 and 3), deadbeat ex, work full time, and workout every night after the kids go to bed. Last night I was yawning through my entire workout and passed out right after.

    Single mom here as well. 34 years young outnumbered 2 to 1 by my teenage daughter and son. I work from home anywhere from 12-18 hours a day. Some days when there are emergencies (floods, hurricanes, etc) I'm on for 3 days straight with only naps in between. That's a lot of sitting on my dupa. I totally get the run-around feeling that there's never enough time! I have a support network of "zilch" out here when it comes to my weight loss, which makes it even harder!

    But, I'm doing this for me AND them.. I miss my old body, I miss the hour long hikes without getting sick. I really miss my tank tops and bikinis.

    So to ALL the single parents committing to this journey: Good Luck!
