: I am trying hard to stay fit and lose some weight. I work out at home, but I am not very disciplined. I joined a gym recently and I try to go 5 times a week. I usually go at about 9 PM after tucking the kids in bed, cleaning the kitchen, doing the laundry etc. It is so tough to take out the time everyday to go to the gym. I have the time during the day, but childcare for 2 kids at the gym is expensive. Besides, I tried it once and my 8 month old cried so much that I had to cut my workout short and get home. Anyone else out there that is trying to lose weight after childbirth? And how do you stay motivated? HI Marie, Welcome back. I'm still trying to get rid of some baby fat I gained. I'm back in most of my clothes but I still have some jiggly stuff on my legs and behind I'd love to get rid of. I applaude you for going to the gym at 9 at night. I wish I could. I have an excerise bike that I use, I love it. I need to keep my excerising low impact since I've had three knee operations. We also have a pool and I swim. Now I'm not on anything that resembles a schedule but I do what I can when times allows. Since as you know, we Mom's get very little free time for ourselves. I tried the Atkins diet but gave in to my carb cravings. We're about to start it again, inspired by a friend of mine who lost 25 lbs, and looks fantastic. I have also come to terms with the fact that I may never have the same body I did when I was 25, a size 8, fit, and working out! LOL :(
