Could use some support. :)

i log in every day. one of my best friends from the military is kind of in the same situation as you, as far as his baby. i don't think i can give you any advice on that. but if you get motivated by seeing dedication or ever need a pick me up, feel free to add me.

Hi, Congrats on taking the first step! I am finding that support is huge. I have a few friends on here doing this with me and it has made me much more accountable. We text each other in the morning to let each of us know that we are up and working out. Also posting on here, I have friends that can see if I am eating good or working out and can give me crap if I'm not. And vice versa.
As for "cheap", not so much, but I invested in the P90X videos. I know you can find used ones out there, but be careful they actually work or you will be wasting your money buying scams. It was $120 but I love it. I dont have time to go to the gym either and this pays for itself in about 6 months of a gym membership. They will try to sell you extra stuff and you can decide if you want to buy it or not. But I get by fine with a pair of weights and a pull up bar. I am only 3 weeks into it but I definately am getting stronger.
Also, I dont know what your workouts consist of but 3-4 times a day is a lot! Don't burn yourself out so you lose interest.
My husband is also in the military so I am often a "single" mom of two. So I know time is thin. Make it count by working hard!

I'm a lung cancer survivor. Prior to 2010 when I was diagnosed my weight was in check and I was reasonably active going to the gym a few times a week, never sitting still at home and just kept busy. Aug of 2010 out of the blue I was diagnosed with a rare type of lung cancer that actually started with a nasal infection that went to my lung. I had a section of lung removed. 90 days after that surgery a chiropractor broke my back in 2 places, then because it was weak I broke it in two more for a total of 4 breaks. Needless to say it has been a rough three years and in that time I gained 50 lbs that must go. I am in pulmonary rehab doing excercise twice a week. I have to be careful because my oxygen level drops when my body is in motion. Just walking can drain it. To start the process of getting rid of this weight and back into good physical condition walking on the threadmill and doing a couple of other machines in rehab. I have a water retention problem and am on medicine for that which has caused dehyration so now I found SMART Water and that is working well, plus it is cheap. My goal is to lose this weight and get back into my Size 10 jeans and feel good again. I hope it is possible since my excercise is limited. Am hoping that improves. So starting today I am taking charge of my eating and am going for my goal.

Good luck to all of you and if you have any suggestions for a body that decided to fall apart please give me a holler. I want my life back and my body. It wasn't perfect, but I miss it the way it was.....

Hi -- I've been where you are many years ago. I also didn't then have access to a gym. Here's what worked for me:

1. Yoga/Pilates. It's amazing how much you can strengthen your muscles simply by supporting your own body weight. There's a bunch of wonderful yoga/pilates dvds.

2. Small free weights: 3 lbs and 5 lbs. If you've got a discount or used sports shop nearby, you can pick these up pretty cheap. There's a number of websites that provide simple home exercises with weights using everyday household items (chairs etc...). The best way to tone muscles (not bulk them up) is through repetition and small weights work just fine for this.

Hope this helps. Keep it up -- 3 kilos in 6 weeks is great!

I post stuff all the time, and I'm full of information if you need it.
My diary is public, take a gander at it, if it interests you , add me (:
