    ummmm i'm gonna be completely honest. i don't really like to exercise at all.

    I am learning to like walking, and some strength exercises. I haven't added weights, just using my own body weight.
    I am hoping to build up to running, I did like that when I was a kid and over 100 lbs lighter.
    And I may be biting off more than I can chew so to speak, but I picked up the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred this weekend and am going to start it tonight after work.

    I used to hate exercising because I was alone. I do much better when I am there with a buddy. Now with a better outlook and motivation, I really enjoy exercising. I like feeling the "high" afterwards; I am a much happier person with regular workouts.

    Love:
    -Elliptical
    -Rollerblading
    -Piloxing
    -Arm workouts with weights
    -Spin classes
    -Walking

    Hate:
    -Running/jogging
    -Ab exercises (but I do them anyway)

    I want to try Zumba, Body Pump, and barre/pilates classes. I am so grateful our gym has a tv on every cardio machine.

    Hi I'm new here! I seem to be more focused when I have challenges and a buddy to work with.

    Love:
    -Elliptical
    -Workouts with weights
    -Ab exercises
    -Walking / Jogging
    -Swimming

    Hate:
    -Running
    -Video workouts of any kind - (but it is because it takes me too long to figure out the exercise - I would rather just do my own to music

    I have an elliptical machine, small weights, exercise ball - and I know what exercises I need to do and how often to do them, my problem is - no motivation (lazy)... I have to overcome that so that I can get back on track. I had lost almost 30 pounds (Aug 12 - Dec 12) then added about 10 back.

    CW: 149
    GW: 135
    Height: 5'2.5"

    Want to be at 135 pounds by May 1!

    ummmm i'm gonna be completely honest. i don't really like to exercise at all.

    I TOTALLY understand this! I have hated exercising all my life. A couple of doctors have told me in the last year that I needed to start exercising and I told them that I just can't stand it because I absolutely abhor sweating!!!! One suggested swimming, which is one of my very favorite things to do in the summer. I started with that and have eased into other things since then.

    I agree with others who have posted here that having a goal and buddies to work out with makes it a LOT easier. I'm very grateful to have MFP and the support of friends on here and at home. I know that's why I'm FINALLY experiencing success with weight loss.

    Likes:
