    Here's something to get at least some exercise no matter how busy you are:

    While I stand in the kitchen waiting for my coffee to heat in the microwave, I bring my knee up to my chest as far as I can, alternating legs. It's very little exercise but hey, it's something. I have two cups of coffee in the mornings, each taking 1 minute to heat. That's two minutes of exercise right there.

    Now if you still find you don't have the time to exercise, then make changes to your food intake. I don't like exercising at all and I didn't during the first few weeks. I concentrated on changing my eating habits, which didn't require any extra time. Quit junkfood and eat more fruits and veggies. You will have a different outlook once you see results from eating better.

    a few days ago i logged in 40 days in a row... but i haven't lost a pound.....i have no time for exercise...every day exams at school...i eat a lot sweets,junk food,,...and there is no time for exercise...please give me some advice how to organise my time to do exercises.....???

    Seriously? You wrote almost this exact post on day 1, day 15, day 25, day 30, and now day 40. People aren't going to tell you anything different. You know you shouldn't eat all day. You know you should exercise. You need to figure out what your own motivation is, we can't find it for you.

    In the time it took you to post this, you could have done 20 jumping jacks. Every little helps!

    I'm in the same boat- it's hard to exercise when you have a lot going on. Instead of setting a goal of 30min a day, start with 5min. Walk down to the corner and back, or walk around your school/office/shopping center every day. Start with 5, and work up to 10, 15, 20, then 30. Anyone can spare 5 minutes a day...

    We all have a lot going on in our lives - every single one of us. Whether it be work, school, kids, etc. Everyone is busy. I highly doubt there's anyone on this site who has absolutely NOTHING going on in their life. This isn't the Biggest Loser where all we have to do all day is exercise and learn to eat right.

    That being said, if you REALLY want to do this - you will figure out how to work in some exercise. None of us can tell you how to work it into your life - YOU have to figure it out.

    Get up earlier. Set aside 20 mins in the evening to do it. Go to bed a little later. There is time SOMEWHERE in your day to fit in a 20-30 mins workout.

    If you aren't going to workout, you HAVE to be more careful about the diet side of things. Indulging in sweets, fast food, etc isn't conducive to losing weight. You have to put forth an effort. This isn't an easy journey and it requires WORK to achieve success. Perhaps you aren't quite ready to make this journey yet?

    Logging in to a website 40 days in a row means nothing. It will not help you lose weight unless you stop making excuses for poor choices and lack of activity and hold yourself accountable.

    I am a single mother of a disabled child, I work shifts, have appointments allover the place with specialists, doctors etc, and currently carrying an injury and going to physio etc for that, running a household, helping my parents to renovate their house, and I find time everyday to do something to get myself moving, even if it is doing a bodyweight exercise circuit in my loungeroom at 4am, or in my break at work.

    Even if all you do is start walking to your classes, take the stairs etc and switch your junk food out for healthier options you will see a change!

    Losing weight is calorie restriction. Eat balanced and count calories.
