How much do you exercise??
That is my biggest down fall. I watch my grandson during the week and by the time he leaves I am not into exercising. Wednesday my daughter has off so I went to our rec center. They have an indoor track , weight machines, bikes, treadmills etc so I did the track a mile and the bike a mile. My legs were sore and my back is bothering me now. I'm going to at least try to get there on Wednesdays maybe some nights too. Now I just need some music to get me moving.

Paula,
If my time schedule permits I ride my elliptical machine for 20 minutes in the mornign and 20 minutes at night. I should walk more but I live in Northern NY where it is -20 so I don't like to get out in the cold. I do have a walk DVD, but I am running my children around so much lately that I am having a hard time getting time in with the elliptical machine.

I walk for at least an hour a day. I'm a SAHM, and I have one in kindergarten and one in preschool for a few hours a week (and another that's almost 2). So one way or another, I get the walking in. Before it was freezing out, we'd walk my oldest home from school and to and from Daisy Scouts. Sometimes I take the youngest and do some mall walking while my other daughter is at preschool. If I can't get out to get it done, I hope on the treadmill.
In addition to that, I do Pilates and yoga and I'm gradually getting into more strength exercises. I had dislocated a knee 3 weeks before I had surgery, so it's been a little slow getting into some weight bearing things. I would be riding my exercise bike for a change, but it hasn't been able to handle that yet. I need to try it again soon.

Hi, Its real hard but I walk for 45 minutes a day. Luckly I have a weight room at work, so I just go in early and workout. The good part is the treadmill I use lets me know how many calories I burn. Today I actually burned 340 calories..... I have had a good weight loss 50 lbs in 2 months.
The one week I wasn't able to walk- during thanksgiving week- I ended up not loosing at all and I felt terrible..
good luck
