Okay, I am getting off to a "no start". I am not feeling at all good about going to work out. I haven't worked out in over..........well a very long time. I'm 25 pounds overweight. Some of you may not think that's nothing but it makes a BIG difference. I look 3 months pregnant. My thighs brush together. My calves are only getting bigger. And my butt has gone south..........possibly for good. I stand 5'10 and weigh 175. This weight scares me because my family is "big". Tall and stocky. Bears basically. I DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE THAT!!!!!!! I want to look like a woman with all the right curves again. Any support would be great you guys. I'm going to start the gym. Cardio 3x a week and weights. I noticed when I was younger walking kept me in shape. So I'm hoping it will still hold true. Weights helped keep me toned. (Honestly..........I don't like gyms just going to see if there's anyone there for support) Wish me luck!!!! Lacey

Hi Lacey. You've come to the right place for information and support, but the hard work is going to be your own. Best of luck to you.

Here is the long and short of it:
Only you can make yourself eat right.
Only you can make yourself workout. Even if you hire a trainer - you still have to make it to your sessions and do the work at home.
Only you can make excuses about time, sleep schedules, work schedules, etc. I bet you find time to watch TV or Movies, time to post on freetrainers, time to loaf on the couch. If you honestly think you don't have any time - make a list of everything you do, every minute, for two days. i bet there are some lower priority things being done when you could be exercising.
No one is forcing you to exercise, or to eat healthy. If you are striving for better health, a better quality of life, or a better physique than you have chosen this path. Quit whining. Get moving. Have a good attitude about it.It will get easier, but it is a battle of determination and consistency.
The occasional cheat or slip-up or rest day isn't the end of the world. Look at your routine and see if you are being too strict or overtraining, or if maybe you have some emotional issue you don't want to face and you are babying yourself with food.
This is your life, take responsability for it and where you want it to go.
As bb1fit has posted before - it is this simple:
a) workout
b) eat healthy foods to fuel your body
c) repeat.

Get er done
