I cant get myself motivated to exersise

Ok, I dont know if Im depresed, lazy or what the deal is. I have fitness equipment in my living room just staring at me.

I need to get over my funk. I know how good I feel after I do. For some reason I am avoiding that. I dont even want to go for a walk.

Whatever works Lisa! You are barely a month out..your energy levels will return and before you know it you will be wanting to go to the gym!

I also do a trick for myself when I get depressed or think OMFG I DIDN"T LOSE 90 POUNDS THIS WEEK WTF!!!!!

I have sticky notes I put on my mirror..they say things like "You are beautiful" or "Keep up the great work" or "You can do it"

I know it sounds corny but try it :) My boyfriend even wrote me one..I woke up one morning to see "Your ass is magnificent" on my mirror :)

great advise sleve guru !!! thanks will think positive !!!

Exercise can rid the depression and help you sleep better. Start slow and increase. Maybe walking 15 mins twice a day. If I can do it ANYONE can!!!!!

I enjoyed working out when I had a personal trainer 10 years ago. Since I can't afford that option, I bought a membership to a private pool at a 5 star hotel. What a fabulous difference. The pool is gorgeous. The shower/change area is so beautiful. Everyone that goes there is focused and I feel comfortable doing my water walking etc. Some days I even feel like going twice a day.

That is a great suggestion and a very creative approach.:)

Well I'm working out now and have been about 2 months now. I have to admit, I feel better and I've lost 50 lbs since surgery on Mar 13th.
