My motivation is I don't want to live in the body I did for so many years so I suck it up and do what I need to do (even though sometimes I do it kickin and screamin )

You guys are awesome! I think you've given me the kick in the rear that I need. The 21 day challenge sounds like something I could do - I'm very competitive. Thanks for the ideas and the support.

I don't like to exersise either. I rescued a very active dog and she has really been a princial in helping me to lose this weight. y dog helps me to get out and walk 3 times a day and a lot more. I will be getting a recumbant bike in the next year (hopefuly sooner than later) that will help me too.

I (usually) love exercise but if my routine gets disrupted for whatever reason (or it's the first few days of TOM), I struggle sooo much with getting back on track.

Having a set schedule helps me. It becomes more automatic than will I/won't I?

I also love variety and trying new things. I've noticed many many affordably priced, interesting classes in my park district, other park districts, and even the local community college. So if you don't mind adding another class, it might be worth poking around in less obvious places for something you'd like. Just the other day I was checking out a neighboring town's park district schedule and noticed they had a free (for non-residents too!) 2-hour sampler class with mini versions of a bunch of classes compacted into one. Can't go wrong with free, right?! But I never would have known about it if I hadn't been looking.

You might be able to find a group to walk with through something like meetup.com or even a walk buddy through a weight loss support group nearby (just be careful if they're trying to charge you), or google around for things like "walking group" in your area.

Yep, this is me too. The only reason I walk is that I have a duty to my dog
