[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like me about 12 years ago. Overweight, post-partum, and "heavy" after being thin all my life, even through the first pregnancy. The good, and bad, news is that you have to clean up your diet. Otherwise there is no way you will be able to exercise enough to make the difference at this point in your life. But you can start with small changes, and honestly I would start with what you eat first and worry about reducing calories second. Once I got a handle on what I was eating (fewer carbs, way less sugar, more fruit, veggies, and lean meat) eating less was not that difficult because I had normal hunger cues again. Also, I stopped drinking way too many calories (not alcohol even) and eating too late at night.

AS for exercise, walking is great but what you really need is something you can do now, maybe even at home with your kids around. Like what about some yoga videos and everyone can try to do it together? Make it part of your homeschool day. I recently found this woman on youtube and really like her. The workouts are short and she does lots of variations. It's not one of those workouts where you already have to be in great shape to do it. You just need a mat and maybe some free weights to start, though it can all be body weight, too.
