I am posting this because I think it's time. I have been thinking about it for a couple weeks now.

I have lost 54 pounds since the end of March. I am very proud and happy with that progress. The first few months, I exercised daily. Then, it started getting hot and I started getting lazy and I quit exercising. The weight still came off... I was happy.

Well so here we are six months later. I have stayed within a pound the last three weigh ins as if my body is telling me that I am not allowed to move out of the obese BMI! 1 pound away, that's all!

I know the problem. I still count calories but they are starting to creep up. Not everyday but more days then I used to allow. I have lost enough now that my body needs less (but don't tell my brain that because it would not believe you). The problem is that I need to get back to exercising. But...I DON"T WANNA!

I know all of the reasons why I should...health and all that junk! Plus, losing this much weight when I am knocking on forty's door is leaving me much saggier in places that I would prefer be sag free.

So PLEASE....kick my (gently sagging) booty! Unless I want to exist only on carrot sticks and broccoli, I have to do it!

Go forth and exercise! You'll be glad you did, especially when it becomes a habit again.

I just joined a gym. If you can't join a gym, then you might want to purchase something like a mini-trampoline or exercise dvds. I know what it is like to not want to exercise. I'm not an exerciser, but I know I have to exercise to get into shape and lose the pounds. *gently kicks behind* Good luck hon.

Find the most expensive gym and sign up for a membership - that's what I did. I'm paying $73 a month for my YMCA membership, and if I don't go, its all down the drain.

ETA: I say the most expensive gym because then it limits excuses - any excuse you can have will be counteracted by how much money you are shelling out for something g you aren't using!

Just want to say...I hear ya! I have felt this way a lot lately. But there is no turning back now! You have come too far to go back! Keep moving forward towards your goal. You can totally do it!

COME ON GIRL! YOU CAN DO IT! *kicks butt*


Just think of the firmness you will get with stronger muscles!

Just think of how awesome you will feel after a good workout!
