Lifting heavy help?

I started my weight loss journey doing mostly cardio. My body has definitely shrunk down a lot, but I know that in order to get to the point that I really want, I need to start lifting heavy. Here is my problem. I can't afford a gym membership (none of the $10 per month have daycare). So going to the gym and using weights is not an option for me at this point.

In the past I have done 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30, and I am currently half way through Insanity.

Here is my question:

What can I do at home? I have 5 lb and 8 lb dumb bells but those aren't considered heavy. I can't go buy my own home gym or more weights, so do I have any options? Or is the only way to lift heavy to get to a gym?
