Juat had to share that.

I am right there with you!!! I haven't been on the forum for a long time, I just haven't been in the mood to exercise and have found every excuse imaginable not to do it!

But 2 weeks ago I decided it was time to quit the excuses and just do it, so I started The Beast and I LOOOOOVE it!!

Go for it! I'm with you. I'm also fed up and struggling to "own" my own change.

I second the suggestion for the check-in. For some reason it helps!
good luck! Let's do this!

I'm totally cheering you on. You are at a good place - the place where you take a stand and say - NO MORE!!!!

I would of said that I have absolutely no willpower or resolve before I did it and I was simply amazed at myself. I put my foot down - I made healthy choices and said no to anyone who was going to steer me wrong. I was so completely petrified of not being health ever again that I did the hard stuff. I'm so glad I did. So I know this is so cliche - and you've probably heard it a million other times - but If I can do it - then anyone can!!!

Definitely know the feeling - don't lose sight of what you want. Put reminders all around the house, and several where you spend most of your time. Just simple post-its are enough, but constant reminders really help.

Best wishes - stick with it!!

You go girl

! You are in the right state of mind to start making changes. I know you can do it because I did, even though I am a 55 year old with arthritis in both knees and a frozen shoulder. Thanks to workout videos donated by generous VFers I was able to restart after a one year hiatus and a painful journey into depression. I have lost 30 Lbs since January and rekindled my love of exercise. I sent you a longish message with an offer to send you videos to help you on your journey.
