Giving this a try...I've got a road ahead of me that stretches out for miles, but step by step, I'll make it. I'd like 40-50lbs gone! Could use some advice and ideas for exercising with young kids.

    Welcome sarajo. When my wife and I started we tried coming home from work and exercising at night but found it way to easy to get distracted and not do it due to the kids. We moved our workouts to the mornings and never looked back. Our daughter was 18 months old at the time and it was pretty amazing how quickly she got used to us exercising if she woke up before we were done.

    Yeah, that's a good part of my struggle. Ugh, I'm so not a morning person, but, maybe exercising will help that!

    I'm new to this, too! Looking to drop 25 pounds. I need motivation, recipes, friends!

    I wasnt either. I was the person that stayed up late watching mindless tv shows and then struggled to get going in the morning. I forced myself to turn the tv off and go to bed earlier and within a couple weeks it became normal.
