Hi!
I am a mother of 2 kids under the age of 4. I work full time and in search of a support group or a fitness pal. I need to lose 30 pounds and I belong to Lifetime Fitness. I am wondering if there is anyone out there who might be interested.

Thanks,
Donnita

    Hi Julslea,
    I would love to help motivate each other. I am not aware of the Jullian Michael's 30 day shred. What is it about?

    Sent a request to both. I'm a mother of a 2 year old and I work outside the home as well :] I dont have quite as much to lose but it's so hard to come off. Any bit of support to each other helps! I'm doing the Insanity workout.

    Hi Julslea,
    I would love to help motivate each other. I am not aware of the Jullian Michael's 30 day shred. What is it about?

    It is a 20 minute workout DVD that does 3 minutes of strenght trainging, 2 minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs and you do those 3 cycles 3 times.

    Hi everyone! Mom to a little 2 year old girl that I like to call Miss Busy. I work outside of the home full time and I am also a full time college student (almost done thank goodness!!!!!) I'm currenty doing the TurboFire workouts (which I have grown to become addicted to) and I want to start incorporating some form of resistance training in my workouts also. I would love to add more positive and motivational friends on here to keep me going!

    I am a (late in life) mother of 3.5 year old twins. Thanks to the support of my husband and babysitters, I manage to get in a workout 3 - 4 times a week. It is hard to stay focused but my good health will benefit them in the long run.

    Best advice - don't feel guilty about working out and taking time away from them. They need you healthy and living long !!

    Hi I am a mother of 4 children! 7 yr, 5 yr, 3yr, and 8 months! I also work full time. I gained a bunch of weight after I had my 3 yr old and started dieting and ended up getting pregnant with our last! After I had her I lost all the weight I had gained during pregnancy but I am a stress eater and had a bunch of stress when I went back to work so I gained a bunch. Now I am determined to loose weight and keep it off so I can do more things with my children. Any one is more than welcome to add me as a friend.

    Good luck to all in their journey!

    THIS!! i struggle with mommy guilt and have to repeat to myself, like a little mantra, "IT'S FOR MY OWN GOOD. FOR HIS OWN GOOD. FOR OUR OWN GOOD."

    that said, i have an (almost) three year old little boy, live in california, work full-time and have a loooong commute. but no excuses! i'm about halfway done on my mfp losing streak. feel free to add me :)

    Feel free to add me! Any of you!! I am the single mom of little boy. He is 19 months so entering toddler world! (eeek) I also work full time and have 2 dogs and a home to take care of, so i know it can be tough!! But it's possible. I work out every day almost, whether it be a jog after work with my son in the jogging stroller, or a workout video after he goes to sleep. I want to lose maybe 10 more pounds and motivation would be great :)
