I looked through the support groups and didn't see a support group dedicated to young single moms! Well, if any of you are out there, lets get together and see what we can do!

Lets start with, name, diet/fitness plan, Kiddo's, and goals..and go from there!

I'm Taryn, right now I haven't started to think about a fitness plan, as today is my first day on my new "diet"...I'm just sticking to healthy foods & replacing 1 meal a day with the Lauren Conrad Smoothie recipe I found on pinterest (and let me tell ya, it's delicious!). I'm also making sure I get my recommended daily amount of water...which is so hard for me, because I'm seriously hooked on energy drinks :/ . My daughter, Harley, just turned 1 in february, so I'm pretty busy with her and work most of the time. My goal, main number one goal: to wear a bikini for the first time EVER!

Hope to hear from you ladies soon!

Hey Taryn, No Single Mama but all my friends have kiddies (Well most of them) So if you need a support person, then Im more than happy to chat to you about everything. Im on my now 5 week of my Diet (lifestyle change)

hello

Newly single mom here. I have a 7 week old baby boy named Max. His dad ended things with me right before he was born and I have been a wreck. I thought starting this weight loss journey and working towards a goal would help me take my mind off of things and feel a little better. About 4 years ago (has it been that long?) I lost 100 pounds with the help of this site. Gonna be a little harder this time with no free time to go to a gym. I do calorie counting and tend to get a little obsessive with it. My goal is to fit in this red Ralph Lauren dress i bought on clearance years ago buy never wore

Not single but welcome and amazed at your dedication!!

I'm the mother to a 7 yr old, very energetic little girl. Um....I"m sorta winging it in terms of dieting. I don't calorie count. I tried that before and I hated it. Now I'm doing more portion control, less processed food. More fruits/veggies. No more eating out. I pack my breakfast (which is usually oatmeal or cereal) and my lunch (usually a sandwich and fruit). I have been exercising more. I realize that the more conventional exercise routines bore me, so I been doing lots of Zumba and Soca. Dance stuff where it doesn't feel like working out. I will reevaluate my exercise plans to include more weight lifting once I stop shaking the whole house when I jump up and down :-).


My goal? Hmmm. I've always been overweight. So I guess I look forward to wearing cute clothes they make for thinner people. I've never worn a top outside that was sleeveless because I am so self conscious about how big my arms are. It'd be nice to wear a tank top or tube stop and feel sexy. I really like skirts, so it'd be nice to wear a skirt above the knee for once and feel pretty hot.

I'm Laura. I am a newly single momma of 2 and a full time nursing student. My son will be 7 in July and my daughter will be 5 in July. I am just getting back into the swing of things....was married to a very emotionally abusive husband and I gained a lot of weight (and I wasn't tiny before! lol). I am counting calories and getting back into a gluten free diet as my body just seems to function better on that. Right now I'm just walking everyday, but I have been adding in some Zumba. My goal is to just feel healthy and keep up with my kids. I dont want to have to worry about if I'm going to fit. Just want to be happy in my own skin.
