Hi! I am trying to make this a year of health, too! I need it for my mentality’s sake too!

I don't have a success story yet! But I'm 5'3 and would love to get some motivation and workout/diet tips please. I'm not sure what I weigh.. Maybe 140? Not a muscular 140 either.

I still hate my weight! But want to change it and make working out and eating healthy a life style change, not a yoyo diet.

I'm not new.. But might as well be. I need lots of support and advice about diet/workouts! I'm a stay at home mom to twins who are almost two. Please help me! I hope to help others!

It is, lol! But not enough to get in good shape.

Thank you everyone for all of your suggestions!!!

HamsterManV2- not sure what half squats are exactly. Just standard "prisoner" squats. So not all the way down.. I did 20, rest for 10-20 seconds, Etc. I was about to add weights, and start up lunges when the knee pain began. I'll definitely start stretching, that makes sense. My doctors apt is tomorrow morning, and I'll…

Thanks for all of the suggestions! Until I get surgery, (no time soon) - $120 or so is a small price to pay to feel a little better about wearing a swimsuit! Maybe I'll get a couple now, so if I don't like them I can exchange them before our trip. Thanks again!

Tavistock Toad- lol, I am going to the doctor. And I asked strangers their opinion. Nothing wrong with that! I'll get my elliptical looked at. I didn't think going the other way would matter, but faulty equipment is unacceptable! Swimming may be a good idea! Though I have twin babies I stay home with, so that'd b hard.…

Thanks everyone.. I can do arm weights.. Not sure about anything else. :( Pzarnosky, it's like on my knee cap on the top part of it. I've also noticed a lump- almost looks like bone but don't think it is- on the knee cap on the center, maybe a bit lower.. This sucks!!!

And thank you to all those who complimented my babies! That's one of my favorite things to hear!;)

PS- I'll definitely check out the DVDs, HIIT workouts, and You Are Your Own Gym. I'll go through this thread and write all of the recommendations down. I appreciate all of your time..

Thank you all so much for the help and advice! I'll try to address your comments/questions.. Well, I had my twins in August of 2014. I did nurse them, actually until recently. I had been trying to wean them gradually.. I didn't even try to start workouts and dieting until the last couple of months, when the babies didn't…

I have to add that I haven't lost much weight, and it's so depressing. I want to get in a lot better shape by the end of March.. Is that possible? :(

Thanks.. Hope to get myself in better spirits. But I will not give up! I really appreciate the help..

I suppose I may have had more sodium than normal yesterday, but not a crazy amount... I haven't increased my exercise, but need to. I hope to start increasing tomorrow. Don't think I'm ovulating or a period is coming....? Not 100% on that. My twins are 17 months, and it hasnt returned yet. With how hard I've been working,…

Thanks everyone! I'll check those out! And the zucchini noodles too. :) And yes, twin mamas do have more fun!;)

Thank you everyone!

I'm Brittney as well! I need help too. Excited and nervous at the same time!

There were a few... The biggest one was when my wedding rings wouldn't fit anymore..:( The saddest time... Also, I saw some pics of myself and my face looked huge! And my arms.. Sooooo depressing.....:( This is my very first post btw.
