Ok, so I've always done the weight rollercoaster, and I'm at my heaviest in 10 years, just over 200lbs, 5'7" and I hate it!! I spent 3 years running 1/2 marathons and doing triathlons, and now I can't even get myself to the gym or get myself up to run a few miles. I'm not depressed or any of that, just having a really hard time finding that motivation again! Lost 5lbs in 2 weeks just with eating really healthy, I can only imagine what would happen if I was working out, too!!
Help!!

    You said it yourself, If you've lost 5 pounds just eating right, imagine what would happen if you were working out too!

    I've got a similar problem- 5'7" 217 pounds and no motivation. I used to swim 5 days a week, and now I haven't been swimming in over a year. I hate it- I want to go swimming! But I stay away because the only pool I have access to is the one at my college and I feel like everyone is judging me. How do I get my butt back into working out??
