I just wanted to make the comment that I couldn't find any exercise I liked either, when I first started. I found that I hated ALL exercise. Finally, I had the realization that I need to just suck it up and start doing something. So I started walking, then eventually jogging. I HATED it! At first ... and then I got better at it and I found that I didn't hate it as much. And now, ten years later, I LOVE it. Getting good at it really made a difference for me. I have no problem getting enough exercise in, because I like it so much.

I found that making it a social activity really helped keep me motivated: swing dancing (in my case ), going to spin class with a friend, teams, etc. If you're meeting other people it becomes something that you can't put off. And they're there to help distract you when you get bored and start to fixate on how tired you are.

Also, another reason why I'm using you as my inspiration is your user name. Your username reminds me of my mother, unfortunately she passed away a few months ago. My mom loved honey, so much that at her memorial service we had a jar of honey & her "used" honey bear on display. The pastor even included honey in the eulogy! So, the name "Miss Honey" really is an eye catcher to me. My mom also was worried about my health & weight, so I'm dedicating this weightloss attempt to her.

Hey I haven't been back in awhile. But, i wanted to say sorry for your lost and I hope that you reach your weight goal as well. I really love sweet things. Honey being one of them. So, I glad you like my user name. I wanted to thanks you and the other ladies for giving your words of encouragement. At times I find when I talk with people that are going to through the same struggles as me I find comfort. Thanks
