I hear ya...I am 43 and a busy mom of 5. I have a difficult time trying to fit my workouts in. I have done it all on my own and at home, so with that being said, I am proud of where I have gotten to. I never thought I could do this without the gym, but I am. You can do it, even if you start at just 20 minutes a day. I find…

Busy mom of 5 from Wellesley, Ontario...near Kitchener-Waterloo. Feel free to add me.

I have had five babies...yep 5. My profile pic is it. There are other pics on my home page. I do still have stretch marks and probably will never get totally rid of my baby ponch, but it is a lot firmer than it was.

Thanks so much everyone. I am going to try all of them. It will definitely help when I get called into work and no food prep time.

I'm 42 with 5 amazing kids ranging from almost 3 to 18....busy as ever. I joined mfp because my bestie recommened it to me. We are doing our first 5k run on May 27th and I am not a runner. Mfp has help me to accomplish so much that I never thought I could do. It keeps me accountable for my eating habits and has helped me…

Oh my goodness, thank you to all of you for the fabulous information. I am totally jittery, but I am so looking forward to it. Your comments have helped a ton and I am glad to know to let the bunnies a.k.a. faster runners go first. I will keep you posted if you are interested and feel free to add me. Again thanks for…

Wellesley, Ontario :smile:

Welcome. I am a mom of 5 amazing children ages 2...almost 3 to 18. I have the mommy pouch that sure isn't going anywhere fast. I started in January of this year and so far love my results...however I am not enjoying the hard work...lol Feel free to add me too.

When I started my 30 day shred I was advised to add it as circuit training...good luck.

Hey there, I am 42 and mom of 5 amazing children. I too have the pouch to prove it. Mfp was the best thing I could have done for myself. Not only do I find it physically challenging, but mentally challenging some days too. One of my besties told me this site and I am so glad I seized the moment. Now to continue the…

...42 and finally taking time for me...let's do this.

Hey there. I just started this MFP journey this year and love the results I am getting, even though I find it frusterating sometimes. I am not a big fan of working out...lol and love my doritos, but haven't induldged. I am a mom to 5 beautiful children, four boys 18, 14, 11 and 9 and a daughter that is almost 3. I am…

...42 and counting, Mom of 5 amazing children. Add me if you wish. I would love to have other friends my age as well too...and I am a 'shortie' too...lol

I also used circuit training general...seems to be the one that a lot use for the Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred, Ripped in 30 and her other dvds.

I have 5 busy children. Four boys ages 18, 14, 11, 9 and a daughter who is almost 3. I always try to do my workout once the boys leave for school and before the babe wakes up. If she is up I get her breakfast and settle with her favourite show and pencil and paper. She likes to come and imitate me which makes me laugh out…

Lol...I feel your pain. I am very tiny in stature and I am a 30F. If I am going to run or jog I wear my normal bra and I have a sports bra that I wear over it. It gives great support and little bounce. This site is great motivation and the peeps are so supportive. You are more than welcome to add me.

Hey feel free to add me too. I am 42 and a mom of 5 amazing children. I am a shortie at 4'11'', 5' on a good day and find the last 10 pounds to be gruelling to lose. If you have any advice or tricks pleeeease do share...lol So glad my girlfriend told me about this site because now I am being accountable for myself.

I am in the same boat as you, my daughter is 2 and 1/2 too. It sure doesn't come off easy at all. I just started three weeks ago and have had little progress. Feel free to add me too.

Almost twins ...

Omg...my height is normal on here. I am always told how short I am or tiny. Hmmmm, I didn't notice. I am new on here and would love to have some friends going through the same bumps and curves. I joined because one of my besties wants me to run a 5k with her in May...and no I am not a runner! I am a mom of 5 so I am busy…

I'm 42 and want to look and feel fabulous. Just started, so I'm pretty new to the process.

I just started the 30 day shred last week and it is kicking my butt and I am only of level 1. I am on day 7, but missed today. I am trying to do it 5 days a week, as I have little time on the weekends with the 4 boys home from school and the babe. I am hoping to see results still. Or should I be doing it consistantly for…

I just started it and I will admit it is kicking my butt. How is it working for you. I am interested in the calorie burn too, but haven't been able to figure it out...please keep me posted if you find anything out. Thanks.
