I'm at 176lbs

My goal is to reach at least 165-160....

I really want to incorporate exercise in my life which i lack so much of.

I had gastric by-pass surgery 12 years ago and i have managed to keep the weight off. Thank god but honestly my lazy attitude has not changed. or eating habits.

I really dont want to take the easy way out on toning my arms or tights but i lack the motivation. I think of gym and ufff the spirit of laziness attacks me!! :grumble:

    You don't need to go to the gym just to tone up or even do exercises. Hell on MFP it has cleaning as an exercise.
    Push ups, wall sits, squats, lunges, etc. You can look up plenty of at-home exercises if you don't want to gym (also then you have no excuse to not do it since you don't have to drive there ;) )

    Start light, then once things get too easy, take another level.

    Find something you like to do. When I first started I had a Netflix (by mail) subscription. I got a new DVD every week........yoga, pilates, kickboxing, ballet (barre), ........... my point is there is something for everybody.

    Trying new things..........
    1. I got into a habit (start with a small goal....and build)
    2. I found exercise I could do forever
