Hi Amy, welcome to 3FC. Here are some ideas for home exercise. I'd also urge you to read up on healthy eating, nutrition, and the psychology of eating. Until you discover your triggers and have a plan to cope with them, losing weight will be hard and the chances of regaining significant.
Put 5 lb flour sack in plastic shopping bag. Use for arm lifts, straight out to side, then straight up in front of your body, keeping your elbow very slightly bent. As your strength increases, use 10 lb flour sack.
Hold onto kitchen or bathroom counter. Slowly bend your knees until you are in a squat position, using your hands on the counter to balance. Slowly raise back up to upright posture. Do 10 reps to begin.
Hold onto kitchen or bathroom counter. Slowly raise your leg behind you until your heel is pointing at the ceiling, keeping your leg straight. Repeat 10 times on each side. Build up to more repetitions as your strength increases.
Do push-ups against kitchen or bathroom counter. Start with 5. Build up to 30
March in place. Put on some music and either march in place or in a circle through a room. Swing your arms. Lift your knees.
Rent a pilates or yoga DVD at the local store.
