My name is Amanda I am 34 yrs old. Looking to lose that last stubborn 10 lbs.... I just can't seem to motivate myself alone. Especially because all my family and friends don't really exercise. I need some encouragement... any takers?

    You can do it none of my family exercise only me so I often train on my own I don't always enjoy the workout but I like the feeling of accomplishment after it & I have to tell myself to keep going as once you stop it's hard to get going again good luck

    I'm right there with ya. I am the only in my family that exercises. Well, my furbaby is so excited after I do my routine because I take him walking. I guess he is my exercise buddy. It would be nice to have someone exercise with me at times, but I view it as my time. When I am outside running or walking, I turn my cell ringer off and I may or may not listen to music. After waking up early, figting traffic, working all day, dealing with customers and co-workers, figthing traffic again, it's nice to have alone time to destress and do what I want.

    possibly look for a "TOPS" group. Stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly. They are all over and there's a website: tops.org. I found a local meeting and its very fun and motivational. Very great emotional support group and not a strict diet type group.

    I'm trying to work off the last 10 also. I'm 5'0, 113. No one I'm friends with eats right or exercises and it can be really isolating...add me if you'd like!
