Weight Watchers and start walking a lot and trying some exercise at home. Don't join a gym yet.. trying to do all at once will overwhelm you. Plus, with weather getting nicer, can do more outside. [ Reply | More

You're not really committed to doing anything about it - you're just saying you are. The ONLY way to lose significant weight is to modify your diet. Toning up will come later. [ Reply | More

i'm actually in the mood to *do* rather than not do, so that's why i think exercise is a better option for me than watching my diet. but i am willing to cut out snacking and unhealthy breakfasts, which i think are my biggest dietary problems. i don't need weight watchers for that. [ Reply | More

Excuses excuses... Look, I'm normally a really skinny, vain fashion girl (now 39 wks pg, so all bets are off). I'm being honest here. If/when I have weight to lose, it doesn't matter if I go to the gym 5-6 days a week! If you wanna take it off, efficiently and effectively, you change how you eat. Period. The gym is for when you're shaping. [ Reply | More

Doesn't work that way. You need to change how you eat. WW is the least impactful, lowest maintenance way to do it and it works. [ Reply | More

i think i'd go to the gym if i went on my way home. but then i'd have to pay the sitter more plus the gym membership which is a strain for us. that's why i htink i'd have to go in the evenings when dh is home and by that time i'd probably be too tired to drag myself out. [ Reply | More
