I follow the slimming world plan and they have some brilliant workouts included on their app starting from 5mins so you can easily fit them into a busy day around working and childcare. Also i do just dance at home with the kids when I can too or put music on and have a dance with them in the kitchen, just anything to get moving really. Doesn’t have to be a set walk outside as I can’t fit those in easily in my daily routine right now. These things work for me anyway :) good luck x

Sorry but for pity’s sake. Loose weight is a really unpleasant visual image. Please, it’s lose weight. My advice is use Myfitness pal app.

Oh my God really... it was an error I was trying to hold baby

Yes I've stopped snacking and not having sugar in my diet. I just thought walking / jogging may help lose the weight quicker

You will need to look at what you eat in order to lose weight. How's your diet? You need to look at how much you eat and work out a deficit from there.

Can't advise in the treadmill but I had to calorie count (1200) & do the exercise took 2 years to shift just over 5 stone. One didn't work for me without the other.
