    You can add me if you would like. I just started this last Tuesday, so I am pretty new at it. I am looking to lose at least 20 pounds, or a bunch of inches off my waist, whichever comes first.

    Hey! I'm looking to lose 25 pounds by the end of this year but ultimately, to be healthy, I need to lose a total of 50 pounds. I am a mother of 4 very active children and I work full time. I have a great support system (my best friend and my husband) but it doesn't seem like anything works for long. I have been tracking what I eat and exercise for about a month now but I'm not always pleased with the results. I would love to be added as your friend. Sometimes I don't really wanna "talk" to my friends because they will see how I feel so sometimes it's easier to spill over the computer. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

    Feel free to add me. I have around 50 pounds to lose in total but I can only focus on smaller goals so I am aiming to get out of the 190's where I have been FOREVER!!! Good luck!

    Why do many people have trouble making exercise a regular habit and keeping on track with their fitness program?
    One of the biggest reasons people drop their exercise routine is because of failing to plan and prepare for the long-haul. After a few over-zealous weeks enthusiasm seems to fade and eventually you realize that a regular exercise program is a long-term commitment, not something you can accomplish in a few weeks.

    Another reason exercise programs fail is because they are too difficult. Many people set out with a lot of ambition and enthusiasm and start out with some big goals: "I'm going to do 50 push ups every day" or "I'm going to jog 45 minutes every day" and set goals that are too difficult to sustain for very long. You may be able to pull off a few days, but soon you run out of energy and you scrap the whole program.

    Finally, we set out to do too much. We set goals to do cardio, lift weights, eat healthy, quit sweets, stop drinking soda, go to bed earlier, and quit drinking alcohol. While each of these is a great goal, they are a bit overwhelming to take on all at once.

    The problem with establishing multiple goals is that you cannot completely focus on one goal if you're trying to do all the others at the same time. As a result, you get frustrated, your fitness program gets derailed, and you fall off the track, resuming old habits like eating junk food and skipping workouts.

    Often, the first muscle to train is your mind. Losing weight or lifting weights is as much about motivation, desire and discipline as it is about just diet and exercise. First make a mental decision that a fitness program is something you want to do and take the time to focus on the reason you want to do it.
