No motivation

Posts: 15
Hi all,
I need some motivation. I'm turning 37 this year and this is the first time in my life that weight has started to become an issue. I only want to drop 5-10lbs BUT in all honesty I'd be happy with keeping the weight and toning up. I've never exercised, never been to a gym, never needed to care.
I joined here last year in hopes that I would kick start my goal to being healthy and I've avoided it like the plague.
Now, 5 more lbs later and I'm freaking out.
I dont eat a lot of junk, I eat a ton of veggies but I do enjoy my wine.
I get into a work out schedule and two weeks later, something comes up to interfere in my day and that's it. I convince myself I'll get back into it, and I dont.
Any tips, of hints or motivation you can give me? other than starting at myself in a bikini in the mirror (ouch, that hurt, but clearly not enough).
Thanks!
