I just had two kids back to back... and I need to loose the baby weight, the problem is I can't motivate myself to do it!
I try doing workout DVDs...but I got bored with them after a few weeks because I wasn't seeing any results.
But I am a single mom, so I can't afford to get a gym membership, and I can't leave the house without my kids.
So how can I motivate myself to GET UP and WORK OUT?!?

I take many walks, and since I am a vegetarian, that helps. I maintain a stable weight of around125 pounds, which is healthy for my BMI (body mass index). Losing weight can also depend on where you live - example, people who live in New York City have an advantage because there are so many places within walking distances and everyone is in constant motion, walking everywhere. Get support from your family and friends. You can do it, I believe in you. Just eat healthy and drink water. Exercise too, because even though you may not be active, you still need to exercise, whether it be vigorous or non-vigorous exercise.

Take a picture of yourself now and a picture of yourself in a time that you thought you looked good and look at them everyday to motivate yourself to look the way you want to again. Instead of driving somewhere that is close take your kids on a walk or walk to the park and then has they play run around the playground so many times to get your heart rate up to burn calories while your kids have a fun time playing where you can see them. Change your diet to high protein low carbohydrates and eat 6 small meals throughout the day and don't eat past 7pm.

i'm tryin to loose weight for my upcoming wedding and it is hard. In your case I would recommend to do things that interest you. Maybe running, cycling. Trying doin something that you can somehow get your kids involved in. Take them to the park or the beach and just play with them. Make it fun and interesting for yourself. You need to know what motivates you. Is it getting into shape, losing the baby weight, or something else.

I've lost 5 kilos in my first week. It's my 10th day and I have included salad with some protein (eg. egg/ lean chicken) as you suggested. After 4 years of trying, the fat is finally coming off. It truly feels like magic!
Get started today!

Find a workout buddy who wants the same thing as you. Go to the gym together and walk or whatever. If you have a commitment with some one to workout with, youll have great motivation...
