Fill out a profile on FT, pick an exercise routine and go from there... tell you hubby he needs to help in this too... have him fill out a profile and join as well, workout together... also, keep a close eye on your diet... that might be a good place to start... And, if you need motivation, jump on line here and tell us that... we'll give you that extra little push to get going...

However, being realistic is a key to losing weight. Instead of saying I need to lose 80lbs, start with 10-15. Then when you get there, re-evaluate what you are doing, and keep going. It is a long hard road losing weight, especially after having a baby(Iknow) Start with walking if you can, and cut out soda, cookies, ince and anything else that you KNOW is not good for you. You will see results!

Eating at the couch in front of the TV is such a bad habit .. my husband always wants to eat there and once I am down, might as well stay there.. I never get right up and put the dishes away, and the after dinner walk frequently disappears if I sit down on that darn couch. -------------- : ] ~Danielle Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. ~Benjamin Disraeli

Sometimes it takes a friend to help out. It may be that you have to take charge and defy everyone. You may even have to change the diet of your husband. You two have a child to raise and I'm going to be blunt about it that chld is going to pick up whatever eatng habits you two have. You just have to decide you are going to do it and just do it. -------------- Peace Out!
