Monica,
My weight gain was mainly from depression related to fertility issues, I could get pregnant, but couldn't sustain a pregnancy, so I understand both your aspects, because with my 15 month old, I need to lose weight to keep up with her.
Welcome, DH and I love the Sonoma way of cooking, we have both been on it for the last month, him just for dinner, but he is started the whole thing, 100% this week.
As for exercise, I know sometimes it's a chore to get them all in a stroller and happy with being in the stroller the same time, I use videos, and when little one is sleeping, I can pop it in on the weekend.
The other thing is wrestle around with them on the floor, Brianna and I have been doing this for about the last week, and I get a workout let me tell you. I let her push me down from a sitting position, then lift her in the air with my arms and legs, then use my stomach to pull us both back up. She can do this for hours and after about 1/2 hour I'm tired and can feel it. It's a great way to work in some exercise, an not feel like you are taking time away from the babies.
