    single mom with 2 teenage sons. Always a struggle to juggle school, work and sports and spend time with them (as much as a teenage boy wants to spend time with their mother), but they help me stay focus as they see the importance of having a healthy life style

    Married with 2 boys work day and at night as well, have a husband but he has his own life I think. (he's going through the life change) Think he's forgotten we have kids. He decided he wanted to get fit and has a flexible job, and life. So he has, and keeps on telling me I should join at the gym at 5 in the morning! My reply.... OUR KIDS????? He just doesn't get it. I however, I have decided that am just as important, and have rejoined this site. I think it's great!b My sister used it and with the help of her nathropath lost 90 pounds!!!!! Thankfully I don't that much to lose.I totally understand that u don't have time. But wht I have started to do is go out between clients ( I am a hairdresser and jog for 5 -8 mins. I figure it's a start

    Hi Ladies (and Guys!),

    I too am a single mom, i'm 30, divorced and have 2 boys ages 3 and 4 with NO HELP from my ex. It's all too common in this day and age unfortunately! I'd love to add other single moms as friends. I just joined myfitnesspal today.

    I may not e single, but at times I feel like i am. Its hard getting the time to go to the gym or even eating right. My hubby seems to have all the time to go to the gym.so I was just doing a tricep dip using my kids toy box. and once they are in bed I will do those bicep curls.

    I only have one kid, but I get where you are coming from! I've started working out on my lunch break. It makes the rest of the work day hard to get through (usually my legs feel like jello), but it seems only natural that I should have to multitask exercise the way we single moms have to multitask every other aspect of our lives. I would rather go through the rest of my work day slightly uncomfortable, and perhaps a bit smellier, than not try at all.

    Single mom here as well! Im 24, and I have 2 kids. Ages 8 and 2. My DDs father has been in and out of her life for the past 8 years, and my sons father passed away 2 years ago. I work full time in a mjor hospital in Boston. I also am going to school for nursing right now. So I know how you feel. I try to get to the gym 3-4 times per week, but it doesnt always work out. Feel free to add me!

    hats off to all you single moms out there for sure, I know how hard the work is. Single dad here, raised my 2 boys who are now 12 and 14 since birth. Sacrificed everything and anything to give them the best that I could give. Big high fives to you all.
