I've been a bad girl...

Keep logging, even if you know you are going way over, because once you get your head straight you'll still be in the habit of logging. Otherwise, it will easy to say "Okay, I'm ready I'll start logging on Monday". Problem is, Monday will turn into next Monday. If you're already logging, it is easy to say "Okay, today is the day."

I wake up at 6, and don't get home till almost 6. My job is tiring (just mentally, not physically), and I don't have any time in the morning to work out. So I come home, and I get on my workout clothes, and I power through it. I tell myself the faster I finish my workout, the quicker I can enjoy the rest of my night, with the added benefit of not beating myself up because I skipped out on a workout.

It's hard to get exercise in, but you have to ask yourself if you *can't* do it, or you *wont* do it. Because no one can make yourself but you.

Hope this helps a bit! Keep at it, I know this is something you want!

Exercising doesn't have to be a half hour in the weight room or a five mile run. When you get home from work take a walk around the block, then build on that.

You need to commit yourself to this process. Nobody can make this happen for you but yourself. You have to want it more than you want to sit on the couch watching TV all day, and you have to want it more than that entire gallon of ice cream. Excuses are part of what got a majority of us here, and excuses are what will keep you where you are unless you're willing to commit yourself to making the change.

No more excuses. Just get up and go. You may even find yourself enjoying the newer, more active YOU.

Breaks are not bad from time to time... Just dont let a break turn into the norm...
Get up ,, get the sweat going...

Haven't worked out for 4 days aince Saturday. 5 if I don't do today. Then I have eaten so much in those past days too. I've only been trying to lose weight seriously last week and now I'm back to my usual eating habit.

It's getting frustrating.

I literally put on my workout clothes (I aim to work out 4x a week) as I am getting my kids ready for bed and after they are in bed I go downstairs and plop on my couch without TV on and sit there until I push play. Sometimes it takes 3 minutes, sometimes 15, but I do it. I also work more-than-full-time.at my job and the kids need me in the morning too (I have 3 little ones). I used to make up every excuse in the world.

You just go....making excuses about why we can't do things is why most of us ended up here in the first place. This site is filled with people myself included who have fulltime busy jobs + family and all the other crap that goes with life, You forget the tiredness put your gym clothes on and get your *kitten* moving.

Once the excuses stop and you commit you will see results.

I was like that too, for a long time. This time it's different. The only day of the week I literally have zero time to work out is Thursdays, so that's my rest day. Even then, I go for a walk on my lunch break at work. It's something.

How did I do it? I got tired of making excuses. I am tired of looking the way that I do, and the only person in the world that can change that is me. So I do it. Tonight, it was a ridiculously long day at work and I am tired. I don't want to work out. But I just tell myself that if I don't do this workout, I'm going to keep looking this way and I will feel even worse because I know I could do something about it if I tried. So I am going to change into my workout clothes and I am going to do this workout. After that, I'll allow myself an hour of TV. Not before.

It's tough, but there will come a time where you tell yourself "enough is enough" and you'll truly mean it. You'll do anything to get the body you want, no matter how uncomfortable it is to get there. I've told myself "enough is enough" countless times in the past. I always fell back into my old habits. This time, I truly mean it. I don't care how much I have to suffer to get there, I'm going to do it. Only with that attitude will you actually be able to make yourself do it.

Got it! Sounds easier than done but I'll do my best.

I have another concern though. What do you guys do when you feel sooooo darn lazy to work out? I don't have the time to do it in the morning so I do it when I get home from work and my job's really tiring.

Seriously. Just get your a** out and do it. "The only workout you ever regret is the one you skipped."

I like to use a 10k training app on my phone. It helped me begin running from 0 miles/week to about 20 miles/week within 4 weeks by alternating jogging and walking. It's helpful for me to have the little voice in my earbud telling me when to jog or walk. It also helps me a lot to have someone to egg me on. I have a running partner that I meet up with EVERY Tuesday and Thursday and sometimes on one weekend day. We both aim to do "training" runs 3x/week, so if we ever can't meet up, we still always text each other to make sure we're both doing it and to check on each other's mileage and speed.

I Like to dance to a song that comes on...Even if i look stupid.. And also clean...Cleaning your room or rearranging some stuff around burns those calories

You'll never FIND the time. You have to MAKE the time. Get up earlier in the morning. You'll have more energy throughout the day and sleep better at night. I get up at 4 every day, work out for 45-60 minutes, shower and go to work for 10 hours, then have some sort of activity almost every night of the week. I typically get 5-6 hours of sleep and feel good all the time.

Honestly, squeezing in a workout isn't going to burn *that* many calories. Sure, it helps, but if you don't have time, you really gotta focus on eating less. And that means logging everything that goes in your mouth.

You're just starting out. It's hard, but don't let yourself fall away! When you mess up, just get back up again. This is all so worth it! And you've made some huge steps already by acknowledging that you need to lose weigh and by making plans to get it off.
