Any other twin moms or moms with big families?

Hi there

I'm not a twi.n mum but my 3 year olds were born just under 10 months apart! I also have an 8yr old daughter and a 14 month old son plus my 3yr old son and 3yr old daughter.

It's really hard to stay on track and especially to have the energy to exercise too!!

Well done on your loss that's amazing! I've only been doing this 3 w
weeks and lost 8lb so far, I'm trying to lose 46lb so still have a loooong way to go!!

I have twin boys who just turned one and an older son who is 11. I work full time but am home with my kids all summer. My husband is extremely tall and very thin! He can eat anything he wants and not gain a pound. My 11 year old is going through growth spurts and eats almost as much as his dad. Between running the family/household/working, it's hard to find time to workout and eat right. I'm struggling with getting into a routine that I can stick with. After my first son was born I gained a tremendous amount of weight and then work very hard and lost over 100 pounds. Now, ten years later; I had my twins and I have packed on a serious amount of weight. Over the past year (since their birth) I've lost 67lbs; however, I need to lose another 70lbs to reach the weight I was before my pregnancy. Having two babies is a lot of work, there isn't much "focus on mommy" time. How do you balance it all with a household that big?

I do not have twins, but I have 4 kids. 2 boys and 2 girls. 8, 6, 4, 1 (almost 2). I also work full time and have my mother living with me. Oh, two dogs and a hubby Life is crazy.

I run/lift at lunch every day. I always am turning down someone who askes me to join them for lunch. I feel bad, but I have to come first. I get one hour a day to myself and it is all MINE. I do not share.

I have a 15 year old, 8 year old and 6 year old twins. Single mom, works full time, not including the time spent managing kids! BUT, I do have a very supportive boyfriend who helps a ton.

I have a 13yo boy and 6.5yo boy/girl twins. I'm a full-time student and I completely understand about being busy.

My twin girls will be 10 yrs old in September (wow! Time flies!) and my youngest daughter just turned 8 yrs old. I am a teacher, so while I work during the school year I am home all summer with the kids. I have been struggling to get in exercise time, its been recent that I've managed. I'm usually so tired by the time the kids are in bed I wanna crash too.

The healthy eating hasn't been too hard, we are trying to get the girls to eat healthy as well, so that we are doing more as a family. I have a hard enough time with 3 children, I have no idea how you ladies with such large families do it! You are all an inspiration!! Feel free to add me as a friend, I try to be pretty active and supportive

Talk about time flying.... My twin daughters are 21 years old! But I still have a 13 year old son and 2 1/2 year old daughter at home plus I babysit my 21 month old granddaughter and 4 month old grandson a couple days a week!

They just all joined this journey right along with my husband and I! And we have both lost 60+pounds each! Gotta make it a family lifestyle if you expect it to work... Plus we should always "Be The Example!"

Hi there,

I'm a Mom of:

20yr old daughter (Birthday today)
18yr old twin boys
& a
5yr old boy

And yes juggling schedules can be alittle perplexing at times ;-)

I have 16-year-old twins--girl and boy--as well as a 19-year-old son. My older son lost 70+ lbs over his freshman tear of college and really only had probably 50 to actually lose. So much fo the "freshman 15". My daughter is doing this with me. We are not only providing each other with lots of motivation and support, but it is really bringing us closer together which is a very good thing with a teenage daughter.
