Hi, I am 46 pounds from goal and havent exercised yet, but i'm afraid if I don't,I might get flabby skin. The only problem is, i'm so tired from work all week, on my days off i just want to relax... how can I get the energy to work out??

U will feel better and have more energy if u workout. Sometimes I have to make myself go, but it is well worth it. U may even surprise yourself and enjoy it. Go for a walk, get a trial membership at a gym and try some classes, bring a friend. U can do this!!!

Once you start you will find you have more energy! I understand you want to relax on your days off, however, if you excercise for just an hour you still have 23 more hours to relax in that day! LOL. You may also find it relaxing to exercise! I love walking early in the morning when there are very few people out! The world looks so different at that time! When I first started I told myself if I wanted to crawl back in bed after my walk I would let myself! I gave myself permission, but honestly, I don't think I ever did! Start out slow, just give it a try! Good Luck!

Do you have a fav movie? You could try to watch that while walking on a treadmill. Also, a workout buddy? I find I have these same feelings, but once I finally get my a$$ moving I feel great!

Good Luck!

I agree with everything but a workout buddy. I have tried that many times and when the buddy falls off, I fall off. The motivation had to be about you and how it makes you feel. Hang in there and as was suggested, pick a good movie and get on the treadmill.

Good luck!

I think it helps to find something or things that you enjoy. That way you find yourself more willing to make time for them and to keep them up. For me it's dancing (rock n roll 1950s style), cycling, swimming and walking.

My doctor said until u reach ur goal u need to do some form of exercise whether its a large or small amount. I suggest trying Walk Away the Pounds by Leslie's Sansome

Thanks! I will try that one!
