Losing weight without exercise.

start kicking your butt into gear. If you dont like being around others at the gym and the hula hoop wont work...find a home program to do. Sounds like you need something with a schedule as well to keep you on track and you don't have to make your own plan up. There are SO MANY amazing options out there from getting dvds at walmart or target or going to beachbody and finding something you like from them!

Ok so I know I'm going to sound really lazy here but here goes.

I am losing weight very successfully at the moment but I don't exercise much. I go to the gym every now and again but unless someone comes with me I just have no motivation to go because I get easily bored. I walk everywhere since I don't drive and I am a dental nurse which means from 8-5 I am standing quite a bit. I really want to start some classes or exercise at home but my hula hoop wont fit in my bedroom and I get embarrassed when people are there.

I know I am making a lot of excuses but I really just don't have the motivation. I'm scared that as I lose more weight I am just going to look flabby and horrible. I am 117lbs down from 150lbs and I want to be around 105lbs. But I don't want to still look fat even at that weight because I didn't exercise.

Is anyone else losing weight without exercise? Should I start kicking my butt into gear?

The website is designed for weightless without exercise. Your daily goal has a built in deficit based on the amount of weight you said you wanted to lose. Exercise is good, you should do it, but not required for weight loss.

Try starting with this: http://nerdfitness.com/blog/2009/12/09/beginner-body-weight-workout-burn-fat-build-muscle/

All you need is your room, a couple of chairs and a jug of milk.

Hmmm, I know I SHOULD say 'get your butt into gear' but....

Last year I exercised almost EVERY day from Jan to end November. Great- lost 9.5 Kilos (approx 21 pounds) and kept on loosing it slowely even after giving up on my diet in March, but I had no time left for anything else, with a full time job and a daughter as well. I used the gym, did zumba etc, but also used EA Sport and other exercise programmes on the Wii, which didn't require much space. In the summer I cycled lots of places.

In january 2012 I was going to start dieting again, but noticed I was putting it off as I got used to having my evenings to myself. I then decided to start dieting on 7th Jan, without pressurising myself into exercising every day. Result so far; 5 kilos lost in the last 3 weeks (I know the first weeks are easiest).

I now exercise at the gym every Saturday morning and swim with my 5 year old every Sunday (not real exercise) I also aim to walk places in stead of taking the car. It seems to work for me so far, without eating into my precious time.

My friend lost lots of weight by giving up her car and walking everywhere (or taking public transport) if you use exercise as a means to get from A to B you may be more encouraged to keep it up. It also doesn't require space or expensive equipment.

What i am trying to say is: think about different ways of exercising that suite you. And if you choose not to exercise; don;t worry too much. Atleast you are keeping up a healthy diet, which is better than nothing!

Good luck!

You don't want to be skinny fat....thin girls who have muffin tops and flabby thighs despite the fact they weigh as much as a chiuahua...a little strength training goes a long way..and when you get to child bearing years and above the payoff is more then physical appeal

your right ive lost 15kg with very minimum exercise im lucky that im naturally quite toned, but yes still have my mummy tummy and big hips!!! i too need to kick my butt into gear!!

Sounds to me like you're pretty active already. My wife got to her goal weight and all she did is take walks in the evening.

Working out is more important for shleps like me who sit at a desk 8 hours a day. If I were you I would focus on nutrition and find an active activity that you will enjoy, and then you won't be "working out".

losing weight + no exercise = muscle waste

you will continue to look like a skinny fat till you break down all your muscle mass then you will look like Auschwitz mode
