But here I am, giving it a try. Portion control and sugary drinks are my downfall.

The only exercise you need to do is exercising your self control to stick to your calorie goal.
Physical activity is great for health, but not necessary for weight loss.3 -
Well that’s GREAT motivation!0

Best place to start, lace up your sneakers and get walking.3

Agreed
Do something. Anything.

What kind are you working on? I surprised myself by liking circuit machines when I hate almost everything else exercisy except swimming.0

Don't forget about exercise video games. I'm into DDR but there are others, especially with the Kinect. Try a few and maybe you'll surprise yourself by finding one fun enough that you forget your exercising and just start having fun!0

I don’t really like exercising all the time either. But it’s such a good thing for your health. Just take walks. Put in some music and walk a few miles.1

Going into your exercise time with a positive attitude will help a ton. Don’t beat yourself up if your body doesn’t meet your expectations in the beginning!0

I’m sure you already know this but most sugary drinks have a 0 calorie substitute (unless you’re talking about things like milkshakes and fruit juice)
Do you not like the substitutes?
I hate exercise some days and I’m excited for it other days, have you tried various forms of exercise? The gym is sorta tedious for me, but going on a bike ride with a nice view is fun. Maybe join a fitness class with a friend or family member (or by yourself and make friends there)? If none of that does it for you, don't worry because you don’t need exercise to lose weight. It makes it easier for me because it allows me to eat more calories and all the effort I put into exercising keeps me motivated on a daily basis but all you really need to worry about is calories. Good luck!0 -
Good idea! Fruit ninja for the win! I should do that on non yoga days!Don't forget about exercise video games. I'm into DDR but there are others, especially with the Kinect.

I’d rather plain waster over flavor additives. I just need to make my vice (sweet tea) a treat rather than a daily item.
My exercise pal is recovering from surgery so I’m going at it alone for a bitI’m sure you already know this but most sugary drinks have a 0 calorie substitute (unless you’re talking about things like milkshakes and fruit juice)
