You need to be power walking an hour a day -- seriously. As in, power walking four miles around your greater neighborhood, trails, whatever works. It can't be only food management. You need exercise every single day. Start small. That's why walking is so effective. Buy yourself a great pair of running shoes and hit the pavement. Invest in an exercise tracker like a FitBit. You have to put 13,000+ steps on it every single day. No excuses.

That's what it will take. It's not just eating differently.[/quote]

OP here. I have three young children. With summer coming up, I unfortunately won't have time to walk! I teach in the early AM. I could probably do an evening walk. I will probably try to commit to a Beachbody video in the morning while my baby sleeps and the older kids play. [/quote]

OP, I have 3 kids too. I don't have an hour to walk a day. I do have time for 15 minute daily workout via MommaStrong. IT's a super great program, and I love it. It is doable. It isn't about weight loss for me (although this woudl be a great benefit). It is about moving my body for me - to feel stronger, to feel more emotionally in control, and to carve out 15 min for myself. Maybe if you change your 'success' factors, the weight will come off eventually but before it does, you'll feel more in control.[/quote]
