Seeking Moms in E. Phoenix Area

Hi,

I am looking for SAHM'S who would like to get together and start any type of workout group, so that we can all work together and help each other loose weight, not only to look great, but for health reasons as well. Wouldn't you love to get back that old size you had before you had children, or at least go down a couple of dress sizes. I am sure if we all gave support to each other we could accomplish it. Who says you have to be on the "Biggest Loser" show or ask Jenny Craig for help. I know we can do it ourselves....

What can I do next?

Hi M., and welcome to the East side!! I'd love to get together with you. I, too, am a SAHM with 3 kids (just had the 3rd one a month ago). It always helps to have a partner with the diet and exercise thing to hold each other accountable and get you motivated. My sister & I were just discussing this the other day. I actually did a fitness show several years ago and had an awesome personal trainer and dietitian that I learned a lot of great stuff from. We are located in the 85254 area, so if you are close by, contact us and we'll get it started (____@____.com). Again, welcome to the East Valley!

I applaud you for taking care of your health. I welcome the nice side effects of looking better, but health and feeling better physically/emotionally is my primary focus.

I recommend joining this meetup group my friend started: http://playgroup.meetup.com/1101/
I think it's right along the lines of what you are looking for. It's a great twist on the traditional play groups because it has a focus on fitness and incorporates it into normal activities (like parking a mile away from our desired location and walking there). I LOVE that aspect of it and think it's so creative. And it's a twist on fitness groups such as Stroller Strides in that it offers something fun for the kids and caters to them a little more. So it's the best of both worlds (socializing for mom and kids, and exercise) and is a wonderful hybrid of the 2 different types of mother's groups out there

Hi M.,

Welcome, I am a SAHM of twin girls, they are 10 yrs old. I really need to get moving and have the accountability. I have tried with friends but they get busy and then we just stop, it just isn't their priority yet.

I am in Chandler at Dobson & Warner.

Thank you,

Hi!
I had the same issue, so I joined a Stroller Strides group. I've met a lot of people, and it really keeps me accountable because I don't have to depend on relatives or friends who might have to flake out for a variety of reasons (you know how it is as a mom!) Each group that meets has it's own trainer who's always there--either them or a substitute--so you can always count on it. You can see if one is in your area at strollerstrides.com. Just an idea, it does involve money, of course.

Hi,M.

Hi M.,

I too, would like to maybe get together or collaborate to lose wieght. I've been trying with decreasing portions, but the excersizing part just doesn't seem to be coming together. I'm by Pecos and McQueen in Chandler. If this is convienent, let's see what happens. My daughter is going on 3 1/2, and would love getting out.
