    I workout because I have so much more energy when I do, I love how it makes me feel. Also so I can eat more and it gives me a break from the house and the noise. As a stay at home mom I need some time to myself and this is when I get it lol.

    I could never do home workouts because I need the time outside or in the gym. No kids here but I cant be inside all day.

    Unfortunately sometimes I just can't get out, but I do three classes outside the house a week. I need them for my own sanity lol. Love being outside too.

    I am just starting out at this. I have medical issues that I want to go away and most of them will if I lose the weight. I WANT to work out but lack the motivation to do so. I feel lost and know that I can do it but I feel I have already given up without even starting. All of your posts about why you work out are what I wish for too but why cant I get off my butt and do it.:sad:

    start slow, just eating healthy and the weight will go away, maybe just start taking walks everyday around town, then when you feel up to it start jogging or biking, and before you know it you will feel like a athlete.... we all started there... the first few weeks can be the hardest but YOU CAN DO IT!

    I workout because a) I won't want to be skinny fat when I lose my weight, and b) I'm finding it's really good for my mental health.

    Because I want to be in better shape when I am 40 than I was when I was 20...

    Plus being in a rock band, you do have to have a certain image. It sucks, but that is the reality of it.

    My exercise time is my "me" time.
    I don't have kids but I have people pulling at my sleeves all day, every day. It causes me constant anxiety, which exercise also helps stave off.
    My chosen exercise is running, which I love because I play corny up tempo music that I can run to, and it helps me tune out.

    When I was fat, my cholesterol was 225, my knees hurt constantly and I had to take prilosec every day for heartburn.

    I feel and look better than I ever have in my life.

    When I first started, I worked out because I wanted to lose weight. Now, I still have some more weight to lose, but my reasons for exercising have changed. I love how exercise makes me feel. I have so much more energy and it is a great stress reliever as well. The weight loss and all that comes along with it is an added bonus.
