I am a mom or two and I work full time so I really only have time to work out at lunch and on the weekend. During the week I have about 30-35 minutes I can spend in the gym working out. I have been running mostly, but except for my legs and butt looking better the scale is not moving even though I am coming in under my calorie intake every day.

So then I started adding some machines, yes I am a woman scared of the free weights even though I know I can use them. I want to do two things:

1.) Lose some weight. I don't have to lose a lot I am 5'7" 139, Ideally I would weigh 130-135

2.) Get a nice looking stomach

I am already working my legs, butt, and arms and they are starting to really look good. I just need some help losing the Dunlap/ Baby Belly..

Advice please?

    Me, too!! I am a mom of two and need (and prefer) to work out during lunch. Intervals are your friend (hill intervals, speed intervals, etc.) You can get a great workout in with intervals in a 30 minute workout.
    Machines are ok - do them until you feel more confident, but definitely try to switch to free weights as soon as you feel up to it. You can do so much more with them and they work all those little stabalizing muscles that the machines do not.
