My best advice to you is save calories for dessert. It sounds to me like you really ave a sweet tooth! if you are constantly denying yourself your cravings, you are more likely to give up.

Hang in there. Think about how great your going to feel as the pounds start dropping off. And if you can fit in a nap, that will help too. As for low calorie food ideas, I love spaghetti!

I also have two little ones and find it extremely hard to find time to exercise. I've started getting up an hour earlier while they are still asleep to work out. I have a elliptical at home, but if you don't have your own workout machine, you could pick up some fun workout videos. Some of my favorites are Zumba, Taebo, and…
