hello ..my ability to eat anything and not regret it is fading away..now everything i eat seems to count and the pounds are adding on..although i could use some extra weight it's not going where it should :-/
so the real trouble..i have horrible junk food eating habits and don't know where to begin

I love to exercise but am limited to doing stuff at home with two kids that haven't started school yet...what's the best way to get some good cardio in? and where can i find the info on stretching?


good to meet everyone..i've enjoyed reading the message board

I have never had that wonderful ability you are talking about, wish I had. I have an eight month old nd I can tell you that the only way I found to get cardio in was to buy a treadmill. After my daughter goes to sleep, I try to get in atleast 2 miles. It really is tiring sometimes, especially when it gets late. I considering it part or my going to bed ritual. Walk, shower, brush teeth, book, sleep. As far as junk food, I don't really have a sweettooth, but I have a carbtooth. I went to see a nutritionist and report in for a weigh in once a week. It gives me incentive to stay on track. I was allowing myself one freebie day, but now I just don't seem to need them anymore. Just tell yourself that you HAVE to do this, that is really the only way.

thanks evelline :) that probably is my best option, if not my only. Just don't know how long it will take to get one.
I did good last night..after dinner while everyone enjoyed hot apple pie and ice cream, i settled for a green apple.
And an 8 month old daughter (how sweet), you're still working off that baby fat...it least it took me that long :-( ..lol i gained a lot for that

thanks again
