Dont have time for exercise

You had time to write this topic.
You had time to reply to your topic.
You have time to brush your teeth.
You have time to do laundry.
You have time on your lunch break.

You DO have time to workout.

You don't need to exercise but if you want to you can fit it in. Gym membership not needed. You tube has loads of fitness channels. Fitness blender.com is my favourite. Good luck

You can lose weight drinking sugary coffees and eating fast food, you just have to stay within your calories.

For anyone with any negative comments or smart allic remarks, please stay off my posts. Its not wanted. Your life must miserable. Im looking for positive comments and people. Good luck to you. All negative posts will be ignored from this point on.

For those who have nice words of encouragements, I thank you and wish you the best. Bless you!

First, what nutmegoreo had to say was spot on. Secondly, when you lash out at people like this you are not doing yourself any favors. It kind of ruins any sympathy people have for you and their willingness to help you. Please take a step back and realize that you're likely just upset because someone else might have pointed out something that is accurate, it's not necessarily negative or being a smart alec, but it hits a nerve and you don't like it.

Exercise doesn't have to take hours. It can be a 20 minute walk just to take a breather while studying. My husband walks around the kitchen table while he cooks dinner. He did jumping jacks for 60 seconds after getting out of the shower yesterday. You are the only person that can take the initiative to change your priorities, and if exercise is important to you then you will find a way to work it into your day.

ETA: I should add that we both work full time, and he has been doing college/university courses part time for the last few years, and will continue to do so until he has his masters. That leaves me to handle all aspects of taking care of our two daughters as he is out the door at 6am and when he's in school is not home until sometimes as late as 10pm. My children are also both active both in sports and with their friends on the weekends, so I do a lot of running around as mine are both still rather young. I will be starting weight lifting later this month - going to the gym 3-4 days a week - because it's important that I make time for myself and my health. If I end up down for the count in the hospital (again) then that messes up my work, my husband's work and schooling, and our daughters activities. Ain't none of us got time for that.

I agree with many posts here. First, diet is number one. You can easily drop a pound a week just by figuring out your loss calorie requirements and then sticking to them and logging everything. MFP makes that part as easy as it could possibly be.Second, I agree with @PrizePopple; if exercise is important, you will make the time. You're not the only person having multiple priorities. I personally lost 96 lbs while working full time, doing school on evenings and weekends, and raising my kids, learning to play tennis, and being a hockey fan. It was hard sometimes, but it can be done. You find the time when you can, you plan - meals, groceries, and exercise. I have a friend also that worked out daily while working full time and doing her masters degree, and she had to use her weekends to drive a hundred miles to classes.

Making excuses burns zero calories.

Coming here was a great first step to reaching your goals. Please don't let honesty be taken as an attack. We're all here to help each other achieve.

You don't need to exercise - you can be successful at weight loss without. Exercise, of course, will help improve your overall health, so if you can find any way to do it, I would.

For me, I don't use a gym, I do it at home. Strength training by a combination of a Bowflex + free weights, and then HIIT on an exercise bike.

The HIIT in particular is under 15 minutes for a workout - which is basically less than the time it would take me to get to the gym and back. In terms of bang for your buck, it's a great way to maximize small amounts of time.

I am new to this as well! I don't have any children, so I could not relate factoring that in. I will say that ads college student and someone who has struggled with weight since high school, if you can make time. The person who wants it the most needs to be you. I have been there many times before on the whole health kick and it is hard! Nothing in this world was meant to be easy. I just started again with wanting to reach my goal with my job and school in play I found it to be difficult, but I found the right workout for me. You find them anywhere as many have mentioned YouTube, Hulu (I believe the sponsor one), and beach body. Which I prefer beach body I am in no way trying to pimp their product, but I will say you should look into the T25 program.
