I really didn't initially start exercising till about 3 months ago or so and I started with the attitude of - I HATE WORKING OUT - then i realized if weight loss and better health is what I really want THEN I gotta do what I gotta do and it all began with - SHOWING UP DAILY at the GYM - NOW, I just and still walk for 45 minutes, swim for 10 and sauna and hot tub for the remainder of my time there daily. My mind fought me ALOT for a long time but this month I commited to myself to make the entire month daily. I had started out once a week, then twice a wekk then every other day and NOW EVERY DAY and I am thinking that I will continue doing it like this UNTIL I get EXACTLY where I want to be. ACTION is the call and SHOWING UP DAILY at the GYM makes that all come together and I thought I would share my experience with everyone. It is no big deal, I DO NOT press myself during my workout either. BUT, I do show up EVERY DAY. Good Luck to All - You too can do it.....

BTW-I just exceeded my personal goal of 100 lbs in 12 months, I did it in 11. God is Good to me.

I wish I had time to go every day...stupid chemistry test...grrrrrr. lol.

I do three days a week!!!!

Way to go!!!!!

I started with 3 a week then after a while i go EVERY day.

Even sat and sun. hated it at first. now im loving it.

I have to get up at 4am! to go in the week as i have to be at work by 7am

Oh, I wish I could do it every day...but I cannot. I can, however, walk with my girls on the days I can't...and I do!

Thanks for the inspiration. My goal is 100lbs by one year as well. Although, to be frank, I'd like to be at goal by then...but let's keep it reasonable, shall we!!!

Great post!

Wow. 100 pounds in 11 months. I hope I can do that. Although I think I will just be happy with 100 pounds period.

OK well this just motivated me to get off of my behind shortly and go walking. I shoot for 5 days per week, but this week I am at only 4, so I will go get that 5th day.

Thanks.
