http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/my/advice/cleaver en-us If you have a library close you can borrow workout videos. Pilates is great and it doesnt take much time. I like windsor pilates myself. You can also find alot of workout videos at second hand stores or garage sales. They usually cost no more then a dollar. cleaver Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:11:27 -0400 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/thys_and_legs 138 Helen, Just like me!! only I had 3 children and know im a good 80 to 100lbs overwieght. It surely sucks. I dont feel like me or look like me. I have figured out though that my eating is to fill a void. Maybe your doing the same? So before you end up any worse, just begin following health canadas dietary guide and start walking when you feel the urge to eat between your planned meals. The fresh air will make you feel good. If it takes awhile to get your kids ready, do it anyway. You will feel glad that you did. You will burn more calories, stay on your healthy eating plan and boost your self esteem. The kids will get tired and sleep better, giving you more free time..maybe do yoga or pilates at home or take that hot bath without anyone knocking at the door. There also learning the good behaviors your teaching them. I wish you good luck.. Ive just begun this myself. cleaver Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:05:34 -0400 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/please_help 137 Do not start any diets. Just eat right and excercise. Doing this will put you ahead of everyone..includeing me, who has been on diets all her life. Ive been to skinny ..to fat..and never really been content. You can only look and feel good about yourself with proper nutrition. Dont, please join the insanity of dieting. I am 41 and this year overwieght. I am just trying to learn to eat for nutrition and excercise for health. Look at people who do this..there hair is shiney, there muscles are strong they are content and healthy. Hope this guides you to good nutrition and excercise, instead of a lifetime of anguish. cleaver Thu, 17 Apr 2008 10:53:06 -0400 http://dev.weightlossfriends.com/q/i_need_help 136
