Hi Tara! Welcome! I am Rebecca. I am a 34 yr. old SAHM of four girls. I am 25 lbs. overweight and am bummed about it daily. The gals here have been so friendly and helpful to me - I hope you have the same experience. See you around!

Hi Tara and Welcome to the Board! I had a hard time getting to the gym too started working out at home with dvd. Now I have quite a collection built up and seldom get bored! Have you tried "scheduling" your workouts in your calendar/PDA? I hope we're able to help you out! I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Tara- good to see you over here :-)


I'm one of those people who a)wants to workout alone, b)refuses to pay astronomical fees for a gym and c)who has a lot of workout videos (not that I'm good at alternating, but do have a wide choice LOL)


One of the ones I love to use are Leslie Sansone 'at home walking tapes' (and did see a difference in weight, shape and stamina from using them). Check out her site: www.lesliesansone.com


Good for you for getting out on Friday and Saturday for those walks!


As for the fridge idea- I love it! I used to print out a blank calendar and mark in minutes of exercise and oz's of water every day. Felt great to look at the "good" days!


Looking forward to seeing you here, and elsewhere ;-)

Have you tried Leslie before?


I agree, try working out at home before forking over gym money!

A couple of years ago I got the Leslie walk with the AB belt and found that really helped tone my upper arms. Apart from that-- weights!


Here's to links to check out-
