i know i ned to control WHAT I eat and have been ;P
workout tapes worked for my 5'1, used to be 185 pound sister, who now weighs 110. she did it through the kind you buy at job lot and cheapo stores..some are an hour (at most) others can be anywhere from 25 minutes-45. they can be a lot of fun, and they reeeally work...they make you wanna eat good too. just find something that balances with your lifestyle go cadga go

Walking does help, my friend. It gets your metabolism working out of that slump that computer chairs put you in. Remember Monkah needs to take it slowly and not overstress himself all in one sitting.
My suggestion is when you are able.. walk (which I know you do already, monkah) and whenever possible.. take your kids for a walk and get out of the house. Esp. now that it is summer. =) It also counts for great quality time with them.
Or move your legs up another foot off the ground. Now move your legs up and down in a scissor-like motion (one going up, one going down), making sure they dont go more than a foot from their starting point. This is called the Butterfly.
Both exercises are tough and good. They work the abs (you strain them to keep your legs in the air) as well as your upper leg muscles (you strain them to keep the legs in motion).

-Do cardios every other day. Go for a walk, or bike ride for an hour.
-Do abdominals with cardios.
-Visit the gym (or the Y) once in awhile (once a week or so, if you can afford).
ROUND is a shape.
Should've said something, but I've said it enough
By the way my words were faded
Rather waste some time with you...
find something you enjoy, and do it.
And drink lots of WATER. 3-4 litres (1 gallon) per day is a good number to shoot for. Gets toxins out of the body, making you more healthy. It is very hard to get too much water.
I drink nothing else, I'm so boring.
Currently, I work out twice a day on an eliptical trainer. Kinda like a bike machine, but it works the whole body.. not just your legs. It's a fantastic cardiovascular workout, right up there with skipping (jumping) rope. Although I look hilarious while on it.
I'm just curious to see if someone beats me
(i'm up to 6 litres before i let myself drink anything else)

6 litres? You must piss an awful lot.
I drink 8-10 pints a day. You don't really need any more, unless you live in arid conditions.
im trying to cut down on coffee too.

It takes a month or two of doing things right just to get in the habit. After that, it won't seem like you're dieting.
--Satan, quoted by John Milton
For example; if, at the start of your diet, you simply have to eat something you're used to.. choose a healthier version.
Like brown bread/sugar instead of white.
