Hello everyone I'm a single mom with a growing waist line that I need to get in check. Just stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in about a year and to my utter dismay have gained about 20lbs....so I'm giving a shout out to you all for some help. How do I kick start this and get to wear I need to be, a healthy me!!!!

Welcome!!
There are lots of things you can do. For me I am exercising, and also trying not to eat out and eat healthier at home. This does not always work, but I usually cook at home so it's generally healthier than anything I would pick up from outside.
The exercising, I am in the IcyStarCloud Challenge where we have 1 Ab workout that we do twice a week and a Cardio we do once a week. Sadly last week I only worked out twice, but will make up by doing 4 times this week. After that I will be trying for 5 days/week or not 6-7 if I can get some time and privacy at home over the weekends to do something.
You need to find what works for you and keep at it. I find writing on here about my progress works great to keep me going even after my off days (which I admit I have had too many of).
I recommend you start a diary on here and keep track of your progress and your struggles. You will get loads of support, and there is even a New Mom's section. (Not sure if you are a New Mom but I'm sure you would be welcome there even if you aren't).
Take a look, do some reading, you will find tons of information on different programs and method people are using here. Hopefully you will find something that works well for you!
We have a few challenges on the go right now as well that you can find in the Contest and Club Challenges sections (2 are in my signature, the 3rd is the Offtober Challenge).
