I know that I need to start adding in some toning type of exercises on a regular basis instead of all cardio, but I need help setting up a routine. I can't go to a gym. I do have some light hand weights and some toning bands (the kind without handles). Hoping if I add in toning exercises that it will help me lose my belly pouch as I continue to lose weight.

    Great ideas there! You can do a full body workout without any weights. Try some chest pushups, tricep pushups, tricep dips, planks, mountain climbers. You can google these exercises and see pictures and some videos online to get an idea of each exercise. Also, check your local library for pilates DVDs, there are tons of great core exercises that don't require any equipment.

    I have two elementary age kids too and my trick is as soon as I get home from work I work out - they know mom gets the tv for half hour so I can do a DVD. Sometimes I even get a little side kick to join me! Try to be consistant on the time and it becomes habit!!
