I want to lose weight but I don't really want to do anything.

Pre pregnancy with my last child I was 5 foot 9 and weight about 145 pounds. I was a perfect size 5. I had maintained this weight and measurment from about 6 months after my first child about 10 years ago. Now 4 months after my last child ( I only have to) I have a heafty 160lbs and hovering some where around a size 12. Now I do not feel like I look bad, I actually like the extra weight. For now that is. I do not complain about it because it is a part of life and pregnancy. My thing though is I am active to a point where I will walk anywhere as long as the weather is comfortable, and I have cut down on my portions and I stopped drinking soda and drink more water. To date I have lost about 7-8 lbs. Which I think is a healthy decline. But I am still 15 lbs away from what I was about a year ago. Am I the only one like this?

That is really bad because if you want to lose pounds you have to excise and play ball or some thing closer to that because it make you lose in a healthy way.

I live in a really small community which is why I am not so physicall active. Going outside to take a walk or excerise is very hard, especially when you have a new baby. Everyone wants to stop and look at the baby, they are friends of a lifetime (most people I speak to I know 20plus years) so it is hard to NOT stop and talk to them. Esecially the older people who knew me since birth. I am investing in a treadmill cause I do love to walk.
