    Just keep fighting, this isn't easy. If that is the motivation that you need to step it up then use it. Don't do it because you have to, but because you want to. Find that. Good luck! I am rooting for you.

    You're speaking my language. Is it possible to get a PT? Or just try walking. I used to be fat, then fit, then I was skinnyfat, then fat, then, well... the times I've gotten myself a PT are the times I've felt really amazing. At the moment I feel too blimplike to do any real exercise but I drag myself out for a walk most days. You'd be surprised how much fitter you feel after a month of half hour walks.

    You can do this! After I worked out regularly for two months, I was amazed and surprised by my strength and endurance--never ever thought I could do what I could do--jogging, swimming, weight lifting, etc. For me, doing a variety of activities really helped, as did interval training (walking/jogging), and weight lifting. Just making the choice to do something and doing it over and over and over! It is doable!!!!

    I will look into a PT but I live in Switzerland where everything is crazy expensive so I'm not sure I would be able to afford it. I will start on my own with the Hip Hop Abs initially and reevaluate after a month or two.

    I feel your pain. A good PT here runs about $90USD for a 45 minute session. I've skimped before and just hired someone affiliated with a local gym and it ended up being totally counter productive. All she wanted to do was sell me potions and pills. A mate of mine is in Geneva two weeks a month and swears it's doing his liver a world of good as he just can't justify spending $$$ on a night out that he could enjoy for half the price back home. Good luck :)

    I am going to start my Hip Hop Abs and then start using my gym membership. I have already changed my eating habits by I need to incorporate exercise.

    Gyms can get costly. I do all my own cardio at home. Here is one of the many youtube videos I use to get my cardio in at least 3 times a week.

    I started on MFP with a goal of about 90 lbs. After my first month I have lost 10. I am not changing my entire life, just adding the cardio and watching my calories. I wish you the best and ANYONE can feel free to add me as friend. We should all be here to help each other.
