Just posted a couple of before on profile. They are not too bad but I really need to get rid of the excess fat and tone up since I have been really lazy since I had a baby.
I quit gym months ago, as I wasn't going very often. So now I am without a gym I must work out at home so any suggestions on that would be helpful. I have just started jumping rope but can only do 5 x 2 min intervals, or I run but only 20mins max. I am glad I found this great site as now I have to be accountable and make some progress!!

You don't really have much of a problem at your weight, but of course change can be made 
.
Why did you not go too often to the Gym, as you'd be able to do more than you can at home.

Re: A couple of before pics....
Yes, I'm not too concerned about weight, I just have way more fat than I used to and need to get rid of it.
I quit the gym because of lack of motivation, but I do plan to join a different one within a couple of months.

Best thing right now then is to do bodyweight style training, coupled with Cardio.
So things like
Bodyweight Squats.
Bodyweight Lunges.
Press-ups.
Pec Dec style work.
Bent Over Rows.
Shoulder Press
Kickbacks
Hammer Curls
Planks.
Planks should be hald for 1 set of 30 seconds with a 15 minute gap.
The other exercises should be for 10 repetitions, 2 sets each, with a 90 second gap.
You could on all but opress-ups, use two books of the same size and weight to add a bit of weight to the movements, but obviously ones that are not too chunky or awkward ot hold.
Cardio, could be jogging 2x a week for 30 minutes, or very brisk walking.
Schedule would look like this.
Day 1. Weights
Day 2. Cardio
Day 3. Weights
Day 4. Day off
Day 5. Cardio
Day 6. Weights
Day 7. Day off
This keep the off days split and stops you training for more than 3 days straight.
Hopefully this should work for you.
