Well, my youngest was born this last April 23rd, and I have lost a lot of the pregnancy weight but I have 20 pounds to lose before I feel confident again. My brother has been trying to stop smoking for over a year and I am always telling him that he can do it; it's just a matter of having the will power. So, today, I attempted to make a pack with my dad to lose some weight; we both need it.

My brother challenged me to make the pack with him; he'll stop smoking if I make a solid effort to lose the weight. I shook on it and am now on my way. The only problem I have now is trying to figure out when I can exercise! My sons wake up at about 5:30-6 as of late and don't want to go back to sleep. My littlest one is a horrible nap taker in the mornings. So, that would leave the evening, but hubby doesn't get home 'til 7:30p and after dinner, it's time to get the kids ready for bed, which we do together. By the time the kids are in bed, asleep, 9pm. :roll:

Any suggestions?

One of my friends talked forever the other night, and she and I have made an exercising plan/goal when I go back to work to go twice a week after we get off work. I think I can manage that. We're also going to aim to go on the weekends, two days. We'll see how that works because I've noticed that's the hard one for me because I just want to hang out with my hubby and kids during that time. The cool part is that I'm losing w/o exercising. I've lost two more pounds and I'm 16 away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Today, I am wearing a pair of jeans that I wore before I got pregnant! YES!

That's awesome. You need some aerobics or tae bo classes. They will work you out a lot ...

Keep up the good work .. so glad to hear you're already making progress

good work litjunkie!!

thanks

i need to find a workout partner again so i can loose my weight, i have alot to loose though

I want to lose weight too!!!!!!! I've bought xenical from http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s3729-s-XENICAL.aspx and it's not working... been taking for only a few days! well, my bf bought for me!! i'm so depressed about being overweight for all my life that i can't exercise.. for 2 weeks i've been doing bicycle [stationary] but then i was too depressed to see NO change in weight... i was doing for 20 minutes to 1hour sometimes.. i'm really fed up!

minichris, i know how you feel about weight but it does take more than 2 weeks to see results, keep trying and it will adventually happen dont give up,

2 weeks of so much exercises should have at least meant loss of 1kg or 2.. i want to lose at least 25kg.. my bmi would then be 19.0. COOLL!

just keep at it, dont give up
