I have always been able to eat as much as I liked and not exercise and never gained weight or got out of shape. I have now hit my mid 40's and bang! everything has changed. i need to lose about 14lbs in weight and take exercise. I filled out the profiles and will make the effort (honestly) but i work from 7.00am and do not get home until 17:00, when I have the daily chores, cooking, dogs to walk etc., and I just feel too tired to be bothered - so I slump down with chocolate and TV - HELP to motivate me!

A lot of weight loss is attributed to how you eat... you may not have a lot of time to exercise, but focus on how you eat and it'll help... do your best to fit in the exercise... by the way, extra muscle helps burn calories! -------------- t I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self. - Aristotle You have the power to change a life right in your own hands. - Paul Brandt

Doing Chores and walking the dogs are exercises. Just try doing them a little more briskly. I found it really hard to try not to slump down as well. I work 2 jobs in retail so I spend about 10 hours a day on my feet, but I love just coming home now and stretching and going for my runs. It was heck at first and I dreaded it and literally cried the first few times I hated the idea so much. After the first week, I felt like a million bucks! I bet you will too! :big_smile: Don't give up on yourself. You'd be surprised how much just little things help in losing weight. :) You can do it. :love:

I do this crazy 12 hour shift where I work from 5am to 17:00 on Mon and Tuesday, then Friday, Sat and Sun...then I'm off on those days, work Wed and Thursday, and then on Monday, I flip flop and start work at 17:00!!! and work to 5am. Iew. I have a 3 year old, I take online classes at college...I never feel like I have the time. Plus, I am living in Iceland, and i hate running in cold weather!!! Let alone getting into the car in 30 knot winds just to go to the gym!!! Excuses, Excuses. I need to loose about 15-20lbs, so if you want, let's motivate each other!!! I start on Monday.
