so......how to lose weight
I want to lose about 20 lbs....

are there any exercises at home I can do....besides sitting on that ball all day!!

I have a two yr old - and my "gym" has no daycare. So I would like to do something at home..at least til I get in the mood enough to go further by joining a day care friendly gym.

walking?
squats?

I do have some weights....and that great ball....

I dont eat bad...no sweets, minimal carbs. I do drink coke though....I get really mean if not.

Re: so......how to loose weight
Well, first step in loosening the weight is by stretching it. I start off by pulling a little at a time and working my way until I can hide small children in the folds to get into movie theatres...



Seriously, you're going to need to post your actual diet and stats. Push ups sit ups, cardio like jumping jacks etc can help but you're going to need to get the diet in check.

Set up an account at fitday.com this will help start and keep track.

How about your diet? If you're eating that clean I would be willing to bet you're not eating enough and put your metabolism in hybernation.

Re: so......how to loose weight
A lot find they don't eat enough or often enough to stimulate their metabolism so it could be the case. It's also possible you think that pizza and ding dongs are main food groups

Re: so......how to loose weight
Besides diet, walking is a great way to get in some exercise, plop the kid in a stroller and go. When I was stuck at home with my kids when they were little I would do kid lifts, presses, curls, squats etc. The kids loved it, and I got a little workout in. I also had a Burly (bike cart) and would tow 'em all over (they normally fell asleep in that). You can get pretty creative at home though, you'd be suprised how much you can do. 5lb bag of whatever is 5lbs just like a db! Of course like Jayhawkk said, diet is the key though, exercise will help it along.

I also went ahead and fixed your title to say "lose" instead of "loose" so Jay can't harrass you.

Diet, eat more often (smaller meals).

push ups, abs, lunges, squat jumps, buy a ****e video to workout too. Jump rope (sports bra will hold them), run in place, take your nipper for ride on the pedal bike. I am getting a workout just typing this, see how easy it is.

FitnFirm -

Ive searched and searched and I have not found a front picture of you. You have accomplished much - will you share some inspirational pictures?

And, CareTaker, if you are serious and want to get into shape, I would suggest some before pics (for yourself - or some to share in about 6 months.)

I know Im out of line for asking...but I dont think there is a bodybuilder on this board who doesnt appreciate progress pics, especially of you ladies.

We are family here, so how about someface pictures???
