HELP!!!!!!

How bad do you want this? That's the only thing you can ask yourself. If you want it you will do it. Try to find something you enjoy doing so it doesn't seem like work. Also set small goals for yourself.i do that and boy does it keep me going. I've lost a total of 32 pounds so far.... I don't always want to workout but I push myself and sometimes that I'll just do ten mins turns into a hour !! Also when you first start just do 30 mins and build up from there. Remember the only one stopping you is you. You can do it just set ur mind to it!!

Once you get going it gets way easier to keep going. Find something you find fun and challenge yourself.

Just try small things at first like parking further away from work or the store. Instead of sitting during my break, I walk around my work area. Take the stairs instead of an elevator or escalator. Just move more during your day. It is a place to start. Good luck.

i just started MFP recently but prior to finding this great site i lost about 20 lbs, but that wasnt without great hardship.
my mind set when i first started losing weight was that anything is better than nothing. 10 minutes to walk around the block instead of 10 minutes on the couch is something.
you will eventually work yourself up. i found out the hard way that if you have unrealistic goals you won't be inclined to do anything at all. personally it made me feel like a failure before i even tried!
just move. then eventually you will feel more motivated to start regimenting it. and don't be discouraged!
for example, i work out approx 4 times a week at least. but in the beginning i was really down on myself. it all began because i set realistic goals - ie: i live on the 24th floor of a building. so i started using the 1 min i was in the elevator to do something like 25 squats ( i know, silly), but then once i got off the elevator i felt motivated to maybe go for a walk instead of parking on the couch.
if you start out with some stretches and on a cardio machine and can only do like 10-15 min, then that is a start. next time you will notice that you have the ability to push yourself to 20 min, then 25 and 30 min, then before you know it you're consistently doing a sick workout that makes you feel like a million bucks afterwards.
just dont get discouraged like i did!

If you aren't ready to workout a lot you could always take your ipod and go for a walk. For me, I do it in addition to working out. Walking is great!! You have that time to yourself and you can think... clear your head.
Then start up slowly with other workout programs. It does get easier. The longer you sit not doing anything, the harder it is to get into it.
Good luck!! You CAN do it!!!

I hate exercise... but I do love the feeling when I am done.

I originally started by walking... initially 20 minutes every second day... I built it up over time. Then we got our dog 5 years ago, and if he doesnt get his walks, he sulks... so that kept me going... in time it became 1 hour every day..
As my fitness improved, and the weight started to move, I joined Curves... that was great.. it was a safe environment, so I didnt feel self concious, and you work against yourself... and the weight kept going... slowly, but it went.
Late last year, I joined a 'normal gym' I was hesitant at first, a bit embarrased about myself, but the amazing thing is, NO-ONE looks at you, they dont care, they all have their own issues/agendas/concerns. I now do my gym program 3 times a week, walk most days, and occasionally attend yoga, body balance and body pump... I still hate exercise, but it is important to me to be healthy and as I get older, more work is required to be healthy.
If anyone had told me 5 years ago I would be going to a gym, I would have laughed - and hard!!
Set yourself small short term goals... dont think I have to lose 20kgs, think of it as 5kgs blocks, and as you achieve each small target, reward yourself (not with food or drink) I had a manicure/pedicure after a 5kg loss, and a facial for 10Kgs... a massage for 15kgs etc.
Get up, and get started... you can do this.
