The first thing you need to accept before starting a fitness regimen is that you are not here to lose weight. You are here to lose fat. Understand the difference. The reason I say this is because most exercises build muscle while burning fat, which makes the scale become an inaccurate indicator of your success.

There's no shortcut to weight loss. The only real way to success is in following a good nutrition profile, getting plenty of rest (which is going to be rough with a 5 month old baby in the house) and working out for 30-minutes to an hour a day 5 days a week minimum, with 3 of those workout days focusing heavily on resistance training.

You're going to want to do resistance training via weight/bands/calisthenics

You're going to want to do high intensity cardio (HIIT is a good example of this).

Make a point of doing geat core muscle workouts mixed in with some light cardio, ie skipping or cycling and running if you fancy it, and on a weekend when your on a break from it all, use your weekend to do 20 sit ups 3 times in 10 minutes, on your last 10, try holding your hands/arms, fully extended over your head and try and do your sit ups without moving a leg, keep legs on the floor, only your top half should raise, if your leg raises, your not strong enough in your core, but when you can do it, then you know your toning up, so keep going until your happy, good luck, it really will work, but don't over eat junk, eat sensibly,x

if your capable to do so...

high intensity interval training is good for this (HIIT).

HIIT pushes the body more and will utilize greater amts of energy stores (carbs, fat) in shorter amts of time

if you need an example of a workout lemme know below :)

Please give me an example lol I've never heard of this ha ha I've just been doing jumping jacks and whatever I could remember from gym class in high school

[Toni88]

since you'd be a beginner, I'll give you a general interval training example

ex: cardio: 20mins

warm up (treadmill, elliptical, etc) for 5

using a 3-1 ratio:

-3 min of moderate speed (rest)

-1 min of increase speed and/or incline by 1-3% (work)

-3mins moderate speed, decreased speed/incline from previous min (rest)

-1 min increase speed and/or incline (work)

-3mins moderate speed, decreased speed/incline for previous min(rest)

-5 min cool down

HIIT...high intensitiy interval training

pretyt much do cardio..bike,jog..etc..but mix it up between say 30 seconmds of REALLY fast spriting..cycling..etc..and 60 seconds normal slow cardio...

do this for as long as possible..so slow/fast/slow/fast/slow/fast..etc

also try to limit your carb intake..as exercise burns carbs first..and if there's no carbs in your body..then it turns to fat tissue..

Read the book "5-Factor Fitness" by Harley Pasternak, and do the exercises in the book. You might be able to find a copy of the book at your local library.

The best exercise to burn calories and loose weight is flexing your thumb and pointer finger to turn the pages of a good nutrition book.
