Hi everyone, I'm Karli. I'm a single mom that works full time and lives in a cold part of the US. Needless to say my workout motivation is not there. I really need some sort of push since my weight is higher than it has ever been. Any and all encouragement would be fantastic.

    Hi Karli!

    I, too, am a single mom of two and live in a cool climate (Upstate NY.) The thing that helps me the most is getting into a habit of doing it. Once I stop... I am, literally, dead in the water until I get to a place of desperation and FORCE myself back into a routine. I am JUST getting started back into the practice of doing SOME sort of exercise each day. It is still hard, but eventually, I get to a place where I get cranky if I DON'T work out a bit.

    Having friends, neighbors, work-mates that are willing to support, encourage, or get physical at some time also can help. I have a neighbor who walks and we text each other if we are going to take our dogs around the block. Sometimes it works to connect, other times not (mostly not), but it does help me to know that I have some sort of support system out there.

    Wishing you many blessings! It DOES get easier.
