    Although fitness is great and activity is great you can lose weight without excercise. That being said try to make time, studies show it does not need to be all at once at a long stretch, 10 minutes 3xday is 30 min a day, your body does not care. I try to look at it if I dont move, I wont have a life. Good luck start small..

    This is a great video, watch it and see if you can't maybe find 10 minutes here and there to take a walk or do a little bit extra.

    1. I have never taken 2 days to clean my house. 2 hours, yes. 2 days? No.
    2. 90% of losing weight is eating the right things and portion control- 2 things you can practice while working full time.
    3. When you have the food part down, try adding quick exercises to your daily routine. Acquire an accountabilibuddy to keep you honest.
    4. No more excuses. If you are awake enough to complain that you're too tired to do 10 crunches, then you're awake enough to do those crunches. If you work a full time job and have kids, then you have a reason to play catch with them after work. If your excuses start with the words "If only..." then you need to make it a reality. "If only I had a gym membership" can turn into "I don't need a gym membership; my yard and house are a gym." "If only I could afford Slim fast" turns into "Who needs Slim fast when you have real food?"
    I hope this helps.

    QFT!

    I go to the YWCA on my lunch hour...not really how I want to spend my lunch hour...but with a 3.5 year old at home, it's the only free time I have :( You will find the time, just need to get back into the swing of things :)
