second times a charm...losing weight..hopefully for good

vtpixie

This is my second time losing the weight. Growing up I was always skinny and underweight. That chanced at about 23years old...I'm out of college, working (where I sit a lot of the time), eat the same amount and don't exercise as much. I did join NY Sports Club, and loved it , but when winter came it was no longer as much fun since half my exercises were in a pool (wet hair in winter yuck). The weight started to magically appear and like you I ignored it, until I found myself in a size 10 pants. By this time I was at a different company, I joined the softball team and weight watchers at work. Between the two I started dropping the weight....went down 20lbs. Since late last fall I noticed that it started creeping back. I said it's just winter weight and I'll drop it easily enough when I move in with my boyfriend...well it's been 6 months since I moved in with him and the only thing that's happened is I've gained more weight...now 15lbs since the last weight loss. I officially started this program monday and am definately more conscience about what I eat....eating more fruits, veggies and trying to have less carbs (bread, chips, etc.). I'm trying to exercise, but I have chronic fatigue syndrome so I find it hard to get up 30-45 minutes earlier than I do now to workout and it's hard to get motivated after work. I am walking during my lunch hour and trying to do little bits of exercise while at work. This helps, but I really need a partner in crime (aka for working out). Someone to go jogging with, biking with and do DVD workouts with. I need to stop being lazy and go hiking, biking and kayak more with my boyfriend as well as play more frisbee golf.

I believe that part of the problem to is that I do not have bowel movements everyday. I feel like being backed up keeps some of the extra weight there. Any suggestions for that? Eating more fruit and veggies hasn't really chanced things, and I drink plenty of water as well as smooth move tea. Sometime it helps, but not always.
