Hi there. I see you are in two challenges...and having a hard time getting motivated. I can definitely relate. I'm the laziest person I know. lol.

I'm in the process of getting into the habit of regular exercise too and boy has it been tough. For me, I just know that once I start something, no matter how hard it is to continue the next day I just have to make myself do it. Otherwise I'll slide back and fight with myself over it until I eventually get up again. So, my advice to you is to stop fighting it! lol. Don’t let it get out of hand like I did. It's not worth it in the end and believe me, the problem wont go away by itself. I soooo wish I'd started dealing with this at 19. Well, better late than never as they say :)

Thanks for the add and try to stay positive. Remember your reasons for wanting to do this and don't give up! The real challenge starts with you and once you have dealt with that, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

So great that you have made a start! Setting a regular time to exercise helped me to keep it up. I try to get the exercise over with in the morning so I don't have to deal with those pesky thoughts about having to do it all day long and then feeling bad because I didn't. It was hard at first to find the time because it was something new and there is always something else to do.

Now that your up, keep going! I promise it does get easier.

Hi Theresa,
How is the walking going for you? I know its hard to get started but once you make the habit it gets easier. You can definitely find a lot of motivation on this site. Its great to have others who share the same struggles and can also celebrate your success. Good Luck!

Excellent! Another keen competitor. Welocme aboard and good luck with BOTH of your challenges.

I have always had a hard time with exercise but I'm hoping to form new habits through the challenge I'm in and hopefully learn to enjoy it by the end of it. So far I'm doing ok and have managed to keep up with my personal goal of an hour a day. It's hard on those days that I really don't feel like it but so far I havn't given in which is a real accomplishment for me :-)

I see on your profile that you have lost alot of weight in the past. Congrats for managing to keep 30 lbs of it off! What a great achievement!
