I'm 5'3& 1/2 weigh 165lbs, and would like to be 135 at least. I'm a mother of a 4-year old, live in a small apartment where the only room I can exercise in is the livingroom, and it's carpeted, and hard to do aerobics on. Can anyone recommend a good exersize mat? What's bothering me lately is that on top of all that, my face is getting rounder, and my chin is starting to sag. My mother is overweight and her chin is like that too, so I'm afraid it's hereditary. Is there anything I can do to firm this area up? I think that I'm reasonably attractive but I used to be so skinny in high school and my 20's and sometimes I get so depresssed that I'll never lose this extra weight. Most of it is in my middle, stomach, and thighs. I feel that nothing really looks good on me. I also crave junk food and I would like some advice on a sensible easy diet that doesn't require a lot of expense to get my weight under control, and don't forget about the chin thing. Whew! I need help! (link)

My guess is that the chin problem will go away after you've dropped some weight. When I was about ten pounds heavier, I had my dad's identical chin (not really a double chin -- more like a chin and a half!) but you can't see it at all now that my face is thinner.
I haven't tried it myself, but I'm told that the South Beach Diet is terrific, especially for getting the fat off your middle. Apparently once you've been on it for a short while, you really don't have junk food cravings.
I second the recommendations for a yoga mat. If aerobics don't work for you, yoga is easy to do in a small apartment.
