    There's no point in trying to lose weight because it will all just come back anyway

    My way of thinking was that I was already married and my husband loves me no matter what size I am, so why bother.

    I was so very guilty of the "asthma" excuse. When I finally started on my journey several months ago, I couldn't do 2 minutes on my elliptical, nor could I get through an entire 20 minute Jillian Michaels DVD. I stopped many times just short of passing out. But I pushed through it - with my rescue inhaler in my hand (and probably took it way too many times)! Now... I don't even need my maintenance inhaler :)

    I didn't think there would be so many replies to this thread. Thank you everyone!! If I were a decent writer, I'd share my report when it was complete lol.

    Sometimes, I won't exercise if it's raining. ...long story how that habit started. Lol.

    Haha, I never get to read your posts because I'm too busy staring at your tattoo; Way to distract the other members :tongue:

    My main excuse is probably the lamest one out there, but it's normally because I'm either too self-concious/don't feel like I look very good that day and obviously don't want to wear makeup to the gym.. x

    Exercise.... If I have make up on, and my hair is done... I don't want to get sweaty and have to take a shower -- so then I say no to working out.

    Eating healthy... I sometimes tell myself I don't want to waste a certain food/left overs... so I put off eating healthy, and eat junk in the house.


    damn me too for the 1st part
    but I try to do my girly things (hairdresser/pedi....) AFTER going to, lets say, the ocean !

    I was going to work out tonight, but I spent all my time posting in the MFP forums.
