Must loose some weight
When DH came home from Afghan 3 months ago I was at my pre preg weight but my body looked totally different. Well, since he's been home i've gained 10lbs. BOO.
We are moving in 3 weeks and I want to start fresh when we settle in.
I know i need to cut back/out my dr. pepper and eat healthier. That isn't the problem. I ate so good while I was pregnant but we always eat like crap when DH comes home.
Excercising is my issue. I have no idea what to do. I want to loose weight and tone up my belly and legs. I loathe my legs.
I'll be limited to the gym at my apartment complex as I can't/shouldn't put DS in any group care per his surgeon till he's atleast a year and I should hold off as long as i can.
What are some things I can do for my legs given what I have to work with?
I'm not overweight. I'm average i just want to feel better about myself.

Re: Must loose some weight
My favorite things for getting my legs in shape are Pilates and running. I have the DVD for Winsor Pilates side kick series and I love that.
Also, running is fantastic and the cardio will burn extra belly weight while toning your legs. If you don't run, consider a C25K program. It's good for beginners...
GL!
I was going to suggest this as well. I have been doing the Couch to 5K program and have noticed results. I also do Zumba twice a week and ride my horse several times a week.
In the past I have done Winsor Pilates and gotten really good results from it. You could also try the 30 Day Shred DVD.
I adore the elliptical - as long as you're eating well and burning the right amount of calories you can drop weight quickly.
Also, most gyms have an erg. I was a rower in college and that thing works your whole body! Just make sure you use it correctly (I'm sure youtube has an example) - it makes me freak out when people sit down and start flailing around...that can be dangerous.
