Stock up on fresh fruits and veggies for snacks. Since time is a problem, you might consider one of the ready-made diet meals such as Lean Cuisine or Weight Watchers. They're designed to give you the nutrients your body needs while keeping calories and fat low. Most can be prepared in under 5 minutes. If you eat out, most restaurants have some low-calorie menu options to choose from.
As far as exercise, your son can be an asset. Put him in a stroller and go for a walk. He'll enjoy getting out and you'll get some exercise. You can use him to tone your arms by lifting him in the air and then bringing him down. In my experience, most kids love this. You can sneak in some situps by sitting him on your stomach and leaning him back against your knees then raising up to give him a kiss or make a funny face.

In general, try to make sure you're eating healthfully but if you want to lose weight exercise is essential. If you can fit in runs (can you afford a jogging stroller for your son?) that'd be ideal but if not just try to fit in any exercise wherever you can. It sounds obnoxious and trivial but really, take the stairs, park far away, carry your son with you (he gets heavy, no?), take walks with him, do squats, lunges or push ups while you're cooking or cleaning or if you ever find yourself standing around. Even if you just cut junk food out of your diet for a little while your cravings for it should disappear and you'll feel better about yourself. i promise.

The low-carb diet? The Low Carb diet requires no exercise -- but it would help with your weight loss. I lost 25 lbs in about four months and I could have lost way more if I didnt always cheat. =) If you havent heard of the low carb diet --send me something to my inbox and I'll explain in detail what you should do.
