    You don't need to exercise to lose weight. Just exercise aids weight loss greatly. You just started dropping weight comes pretty quick if you play the system correctly. After a while you'll see the numbers slow down but they'll keep on dropping long as your eat right.

    A person I know lost 100lbs from just diet alone because she's wheel chair bound. It took her awhile and she's not as "tight" as she'd like to be, but the weight loss tremendously change her health statis.

    You can get 30 Day Shred on YouTube for free. I would try to do some sort of exercise, but if you're looking after a little one, I would guess you're burning calories that you don't even realize.

    Body-weight exercises such as squats and lunges and aerobics like jogging in place or jumping jacks can be done in home and at random times, spontaneously.

    Exercise, though, isn't necessary for fat loss - you just have to eat less than what your body needs in total energy. Exercise, however, is essential for maintenance, especially for those whose fat loss came without exercise.
