It's sad but true that it is so much easier putting the calories in than getting the calories out! I keep telling myself that when I get to where I want to be, it will all have been worth it. You may add me as a friend and I will try and help keep you motivated. We can coach each other.

I sweat and occasionally ache, but I don't suffer. I enjoy it! I get a good endorphin rush afterwards and it makes me happy, something not a lot of things can do!

To be able to go for a size 16 to a 8 in 5 months! You can do it!

This! Because I also have almost 0 willpower when it comes to certain baked goods (which will be nameless because if I start thinking about them, I'm going to the store and getting the ingredients to make them)..... so I feel AWESOME having this much control over my cravings!

I wouldn't call exercising "suffering". Why WOULDN'T you make an effort to be healthy?

to look and feel beautiful, to have confidence again.

Easy for me to do because I spent two years in a wheelchair due to a combination of obesity and severe arthritis. The dr looked me in the face and said " if you ever want to walk again you need surgery but I can't do it at your weight". So it was lose weight or spend the rest of my life being a monumental burden to my family and friends,and missing out on much of life. It hurts to exercise but I celebrate every time I can do 2.4 miles on the treadmilll. It did take me a year (!) to work up to 2.4 miles at 2.4 mph but I am there. Sadly if you don't exercise, you will slowly lose the ability to move, slowly lose the muscle mass that drives your metabolic rate and causes you to burn calories, slowly lose the flexibility that enables you to co many simple daily tasks like reaching up to brush your hair or bending down to tie your shoes, I saw the sad results of that as an RN in a nursing home. So go for the gold, sister! I hope that inspires you a little. Good luck and good health!

This!

And that's one of the things I hate about shows like The Biggest Loser. They make exercise seem like punishment - TORTURE, actually - for having lead a gluttonous and slothful life.

It doesn't have to include suffering and pain. Sweat? That's inevitable, but I'd rather break a sweat because I ran 5 miles than because I'm too out of shape to climb a flight of stairs. Aches? I kind of enjoy aches. Makes me feel like I did something worthwhile. But you will never catch me crying, screaming, puking or falling down from exhaustion.

(I'll just fall down because I'm a clutz!)

Overall, though, I'd rather put in the extra effort NOW than have every movement cause suffering, sweat and aches later. I want strong muscles, bones, heart and lungs, because they have to last me a lifetime!

This! Plus I just feel so much better 24/7 when I'm being active. The energy I have the rest of the time make it well worthwhile to work hard for a short time.

lynheff, Your story is just the reason that I want to loose weight!! I have been in alot of pain since I was 21yrs old after a horse fell on me, then I was stopped by a horse, and then marriage..kids...chronic fatique syndrome ( I was told to go on disabilitly, but
NOT! I could not do this) numerous surgies, and illness ....and a business that broke my body down. I have to have a surgery this fall to fix my shoulder!! You are awesome!! I strive to be like you!! I just keep picking up one foot at a time. I know that some of my pain will never go away, but loosing this 100 lbs will be like a miracle drug!!!! Wishing you many blessing of years of good health.
