    My doctor said it best: children who see their mothers work out show them that's its important to take care of themselves. Children come to accept it as normal - mommy works out.
    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. e) mother of 3.

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

    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 :)

    I'll fit very well into this grop if you accept me ladies haha. I am 37yrs and a mum of a 2yr old, lost 30lbs so far but hoping that now I've found MFP I will lose my next 80ish with all of your help/motivation!!!!

    I don't have a problem with sticking to my calorie allowance (currently 1200) but I never seem to commit to exercise which I know I'd a must. Had a lovely walk today and have planned for the same tomorrow.

    Friends requests sent!

    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.

    I want to try this, I was debating it...

    Hello everyone! I am so impressed that one Mom reached out for help and look at the wonderful response. I work full time out of the home and travel at least once a month. I have two girls, 2 and 4 yrs old, who keep me hopping. I can use all the support I can get since my husband has no interest in losing weight or helping me (as he sits next to me eating ice cream out of the carton). Do I need to add everyone or can we create a group?

    I have a 3 year old and work outside of the home.
    I am maintaining my weight until 8/4 because I am in a wedding and my dress fits perfectly so I can't lose or I will need alterations but after that it's on! I want to lose 20 more.

    I'm a Stay at Home Mom (now I worked full time up until 2 months ago) to my 3 1/2 year old and 1 year old sons. I have about 90 pounds to go to reach my goal. : (

    I was around here about a year ago and when I had to go back to work after maternity leave I kinda fell off the MFP earth and all the people I was motivated by then are gone now. I could definitely use some more friends. Feel free to add me anyone.

    Hi I actually don't know since I am new to MFP. I am definitely willing to lend some support. My husband is supportive and having support is so important. :smile:
