Need help getting started :(

I've tried to lose weight in the past but I never seemed to be able to.
I'm 18 years old, I got pregnant (now 2 1/2 months post) and gained 50lbs. I lost 25lbs after my daughter was born but the other 25lbs doesn't seem to be going away. I really don't want to buy a new wardrobe as I'm trying to save money.

I'm 5'1 and 150lbs. I want to get back down to 115lbs but I'll be fine if I'm pre-pregnancy weight again which is 125lbs.
I do not exercise much at all so for my exercise level I put secondary. (I do spend most of the day sitting). The site recommends that I eat 1250 calories a day to lose 1lb a week. I want to start exercising but I need at home exercises.

Can someone help me ? I don't know what exercises are good to do in the house and how long I need to exercise or how many days a week. Also, I'm unsure what to eat!

Eat what you want within moderation and stick to the calorie goal that MFP has set for you. If you workout then eat back your exercise calories. At least 50% to 75%. This will give you more calories allowing you to eat a little more. Here are some links to help get you started.

Also for at home workouts youtube is great. Fitness Blender and Jillian Michaels on youtube. Also Leslie Sansone Walk away the pounds on youtube. If you are just starting.
