This has been a very useful thread.I have struggled with weight for many years. I have sufficient motivation to exercise and I am normally able to keep a disciplined schedule. But with our 2yr old daughter, sleeplessness has kind of messed me up and I struggle to keep any form of discipline now. It's hard. I am just glad to know that I am far from the only one :)

Exercise helps a bit with weight, but the overwhelming factor in weight loss/gain is the amount of calories ingested.

Have you looked at city joggers? I see people running around with those all the time here. Kids love the speed :)
