Totally the food intake ! I can exercise until the cows come home. But man, I STILL struggle with unders and macros.0

The food part is definitely the easiest part for me. I love exercising and I always push myself to the max. It's the food thing I have issues with.0

Don't really exercise just do stuff like walk instead of taking a shuttle, etc. As long as I eat the right food, the diet is pretty easy as well.0

The food is torture for me. I love exercise, gym, yoga, sweating, swiiming, walking, love it? Food, I love it, too much in fact...0

Exercise, eating right can still be done when having no energy or when you have a tight schedule.0

I like exercise, I don't like getting off my *kitten* to START tho lol eating crappy food isn't pleasurable for me it's just habit so IDK which is harder really...0

Dieting and making time for exercise. I like the exercise when I get there. Getting there can be hard.
Dieting is worse though, because I am a foodie, and I love trying new foods! And not all of these will be helpful.
I am jealous of the people who can switch their daily routine and add more activity.
My body doesn't react well to "daily activity" it has no impact on my weight at all. I need to do something high intensity to see results. So I know I need to hit the gym for anything to happen.0 -
Diet is a piece of cake compared to deadlifts. If you think exercise is easy, you're not working hard enough . Well, maybe I shouldn't say that since something is better than nothing. But as I like to say, if you're gonna go, go all the way.0

I've been an athlete my entire life until suffering from serious knee and ankle injuries which have made cardio nearly impossible. My biggest issue believe it or not is finding a way to tone down the intensity of my workouts. I ve found myself pushing myself too far whenever i try to get myself back into the gym which seems to set me back even further. Since, my last injury lifestlye has changed drastically: its gone from highly active to nearly sedentary with my new office job which has resulted in me gaining about 25lbs in the past 7 months.
Im looking to see if anyone has tips into easing myself back into the gym so I don't burn myself out. Any help out there?0 -
Exercise. I can talk myself out of doing it SO easily.0

i find sticking to eating plan is hardest of all i love choclate chip cookies!!!!!!!!!0

Depends on the day. Sometimes I feel super motivated to exercise, and other days it's like slogging through mud. And some days I'll be starving no matter what I do, and others I feel full from small things.
But I think exercise is definitely harder for the first few months you do it. Because it takes a while to build up the habit, and it doesn't take long to have to start that process of building the habit over again if you miss several days.0 -
Dieting!
I like exercising. It makes me feel strong and empowered. Dieting...psychologically, I feel like I'm depriving myself of the foods I love. The ones everyone else I know eat. Dieting makes me unhappy, exercising makes me smile.
Sometimes I just want to curl up on the couch, watch the Notebook, and eat pints of Ben and Jerrys with popcorn, cinnamon rolls, lasagna, french fries, shakes, and brownies.0 -
Exercise. I gotta make myself do it half the time, but i do it0
-
Love to exercise .... the food part is hard... But I used to hate to exercise also, now I look forward to it, just hard to cut the cravings ! Good luck to all !0

Getting my eating under control is harder than making myself sweat, for sure!0

It's too bad endorphins aren't released when you are hungry!!!!!0 -
right now exercising is harder
For me too. Thankfully, I'm doing well with the diet part so I'm not adding weight. But I'm also not losing the flab!0 -
I LOVE exercise...wasnt until I buckled down on the eating that I started to loose the weight I put on over 10 years though. Eating habits are 80% of the weight loss. Sad, cause I love exercising and love food more0
