My goal is to drop 60lbs.. Im down 16lbs so far. I have been walking 2 to 3 miles a day, at least 5 days a week. When is the best time to add in different workouts? What are some good work outs at home? I have three kids and no time for a gym after work. Thanx guys!

    Strength training. Big time. You'll increase your metabolism so you burn more calories by doing absolutely nothing. :) The scale won't move as fast, but you'll drop sizes. I only lost 8 lbs in an entire year, but dropped 4 clothing sizes with strength training!

    "New Rules of Lifting for Women" is a great start. You just need a set of adjustable dumbbells and you're set. You can also do bodyweight exercises (push ups, etc). I have 2 little ones at home and get in my daily workout with them around.
