in Introduce Yourself
My doctor recommended that I use this site to lose weight and get better control of my diabetes. So far I am really excited to see how this works. It's been a good first week, but am still having a hard time getting motivated to get off of the couch and work out. Taking one day at a time and hopefully will keep at it to see the results and feel good again.

    I've only been on here about 3 weeks now, and I felt the same way. It is slowly getting easier to be motivated to exercise, mostly because I know I'll be able to eat more if I do! :) Also, doing the same exercises a few days a week will build up your endurance, so you can progressively do them longer.

    I know how you feel about needing to get off the couch. I joined a challange group yesterday and instead of going home and laying on the couch all evening I spent the evening exercising. Joining a challange group really has me motivated.
