Hi! I recently became a SAHM to my 3yo son & 1yo daughter. I'm loving life at home with them but it is definitely making dieting harder to do! I've got about 40lbs to lose -- most from my first pregnancy. I joined here because I need to start paying better attention to what I'm eating throughout the day. Before my last pregnancy I had lost about 10lbs by going to the gym daily and eating right. With 2 little ones at home I've pretty much just lost myself to being a mommy and I need to find that motivation again. Now with the loss of one income the gym is out so I've got to find a way to get some exercise in daily as well. Sheesh, I've got my work cut out for me! I hope to find some great advice here and make some new friends! =)

    GAH! Sorry, I've never been very good with message boards. At any rate, I wanted to say THANKS for the links. I bookmarked them, and in addition to the kettlebell I plan on visiting these sites regularly to get ideas and change things up. I have done fairly well this week in actually putting forth the effort to exercise. I miss the gym terribly. I used to love hitting the elliptical with nothing to bother me but my iPod, but since those days are over I have to force myself to work out at home -- I hate working out at home, but oh well, I'll learn to love it I suppose. LOL! Thanks everyone for the support!
