Hi, I am new to the group. I have been trying to lose weight since October. I have managed to lose about 20 lbs. I don't mind the eating healthy and trying to watch calories, but, I HATE TO EXERCISE. It is a chore for me. I have been walking but everyday I just want to throw in the towel. I could really use some encouragement and possible ways to change my attitude about moving my body.
I need to lose 60 more lbs and it seems extremely overwhelming. HELP!!!

    Welcome! It takes time to get used to exercise. We've spent a lot of time on the couch and our bodies like it there. :smile:
    Perhaps walking isn't what you enjoy? Have you tried something else? Have you been walking since October? Do you walk the same route or vary it a little bit? Do you listen to music or an audio book while walking?
    Keep walking and trying to find out why you're not enjoying it.
    You're doing great, by the way.
