in Introduce Yourself
and really get on track. I am currently 212lbs and only 5ft 2. I just had a beautiful baby girl three months ago and she is the latest addition to my 14yr old daughter and 3yr old son. I have osteo arthritis in my spine so it is imperative for me to lose weight and not keep extra pressure on my spine. I have put everyone in my house on portion control and am only making enough for what we are supposed to eat. I work out either during nap time or at night when everyone is sleeping.

    do you have access to a pool where you could wear a flotation belt and exercise in the deep end or just even walk laps in one of the lanes? i walk daily--just take it a day at a time at first and good luck!

    I only have access to a pool in the summer time and we take full advantage of that. I currently am not walking as we are in the windy rainy season and I don't want to take the little ones out in that. We do have a mini gym in our condo and I try and do 30-45 mins on the elliptical then do my core, arms, or lower body with weights. I have a big balance ball and a small ab ball, We have free weights, resistance band and tons of work out videos. I don't do the videos often since my neighbor is nuts and calls the cops whenever we make any kind of noise in here but once we move I hope to start P90x

    Thank you all for the welcomes!!
