I'm a full-time single mom of a 12-month-old little boy. I could use some single parent friends for support!

Hey guys! I have been a single mom for 10 months now, and my son is 12 months old. I became a single mom upon finding out that his father was abusing him. I'm his sole caregiver now, and it's just the two of us living in a small apartment. Getting fit is very difficult when I have to carry a baby around with me everywhere…

Haha well I didn't exactly push a baby out. I had an emergency c-section. :(

Go shoulder-length with some layers, and get highlights while you're at it. I think it would look really cute. But, I must say, I absolutely love your long hair!!!

1. What is your eye color? Bluish. 2. What is youre favorite season? Fall. 3. What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas. 4. Have you ever been arrested? Never. 5. What are 2 things with in arms reach of you right now? Cats, and magazines. 6. Would you rather know how you are going to die, Or know when you are going to die?…

Me!!! I actually want to look pregnant when I am, instead of fat lol.

You're doing fantastic!!! Keep up all the hard work! :happy:

Chocolate isn't actually bad for you...dark chocolate, that is. Just limit yourself on how much of it you're eating. I've also noticed that the more physical activity I do, the less I crave sweets. And I'm a major chocoholic...lol, so I'm ALWAYS craving sweets!!!

Try substituting your sugar with Agave. It tastes just as amazing and you don't have that weird taste that most sugar substitutes have...plus it's natural!

Wow, what an amazing transformation!!! You're truly an inspiration!

I wouldn't wait until you're done losing weight to start toning. Actually, it's proven that lifting weights is more effective in losing weight than cardio alone. So go ahead and start lifting, you won't regret it!!!

You're doing an absolutely amazing job!!! Keep up all the hard work; it's paying off!

I actually gained weight after stopping both.

If I want it, I'll eat it. lol life is too short to deprive yourself. I just eat it with limitation, even if pigging out on it would keep me in my calorie limits.

Okay, I've only had to delete someone once for this...and I asked her about her eating habits before I jumped to any conclusions. She first-handedly admitted that she didn't think her eating habits were a problem (under 800 cals a day before exercise). If it's under doctors orders, that's a different thing and wouldn't…

I really only delete someone if they consistently eat/net below 1000 calories. That's considered anorexic, and being a recovered anorexic I can't be seeing that, let alone supporting that type of behavior. I would probably also delete someone if they were rude...but I have yet to come across someone on my friends list that…

Wow, you look amazing!!! Great transformation! :happy:

I eat what I want, when I want. I just eat it in limitation. If I want chips, I take a small handful, put it on a napkin, and put the bag away before I even start eating them. Then I eat them slowly, savoring the taste. Not only does this prevent me from eating too many chips, but it also prevents me from craving them…

Such an amazing transformation in a small amount of time! You're truly an inspiration!

Freedom Writers? Not sure if that's along the lines of what you're looking for?

Sweet onions are a type of onion...that's the only type of onion I usually buy. A sweet potato is a potato, but has a sweeter flavor and it's an orange-ish color. As far as sweet peas, I'm not sure...never had them. But I've had sugar peas / snow peas (when you put sugar on your peas).

Sugar-free gherkins! Zero calories, 1 carb per serving (2 pickles)... only downside is the sodium, but I'm hunting down some low-sodium gherkins!

A or B. I myself tend to be an overly nice person...

Eating breakfast is only essential for gaining energy first thing in the morning, and it also helps curb cravings throughout the day for most people. And eating after a certain hour at night only hurts because you aren't giving yourself much time to burn off those calories. Plus, once you're asleep, your body is in rest…

50% French, 50% Czech and German.

Love them!!! :-D

Wow! What an amazing transformation...and you look so much happier! Must be a great feeling! :happy:

Congrats!!! Hard work pays off :smile:

I think you can do it!!! Even if you don't meet your goal, but you come close to it, it'll probably be satisfying for you at graduation. I would also suggest going on youtube and searching for Jillian Michaels. Her workouts are intense and help to lose weight and build muscle! Good luck!

I used POF before, before I was married. I didn't meet my husband online though. I had several guys contact me who were just creeps, but my gut instinct always told me who they were (even if they didn't mention anything of it). I did meet some great guys on there. I went on a date with one of the guys, who had to meet my…
