    Welcome to the site! The first thing you should start doing is changing what you feed your kids since you all eat the same things. It is important that you teach them good nutrition and get them accustomed to eating healthy. There will be kick back at first but they will get used to it. Also, you can do a TON of exercise WITH your kids, Try "Kiss Ups." When your baby is on an empty tummy, pick him or her up above your head and lower the baby down slowly until you all kiss. Then push him or her back up in a swift motion and repeat fifteen times three times throughout the day. This will work your shoulder and biceps. And the biggest thing is to just get outside and PLAY with the two oldest. Chase them around and get involved in their world of creativity. You will start losing weight for sure!
