Same boat as me

So i was wondering who was in a simple boat as me. I am 5'5'' and 150lbs would like to get down to about 135 because when I was around 125 I thought I looked to skinny. So I would like to get down to 135 in about 3-3.5 months. However I am just having a hard time staying dedicated. It was easier when I had a gym membership and we no longer can afford one. It just seems I do not have the time to work out because I have either my son to watch after, school work to do and by the time my hubby gets home from work its usually 8-9 at night. School is about to end for the semester which is good and the weather is finally getting better. I started to park farther away and I look forward taking my son to the park but I just feel that this isnt enough for me to actually loss the weight I want...I would love to add more friends so I can get some motivation to stick with it even though I may not reach my 3 month goal. So please add me if you are in a similar boat...

    Could you maybe pick up an elliptical or treadmill from Craig's List or the newspaper? We have an elliptical as I don't have time to pack up the kids, go to the gym, work out, pack them up again and come home. That and the gym is expensive. I've lost 33 pounds in about 7 weeks using just my elliptical and a few times doing 30 day shred. Your in a great place (MFP) :) Welcome
