Well I've never done heavy lifting, only normal strength training for toning, and I do have to use a bench for the free weight exercising, I do give my muscles a few minutes break by working different muscles in different sets, for example I start with 10 arm curls, then I stand up and do 10 squats, then 10 core exercises,…

True, true! Still annoying :)

I have the same problem! Can't seem to lose the last ten lbs. I also have an office job (a very stressful office job).

Well there should be a limit for "breaks" or if they want to people watch or socialize then pick a different place to do it :huh:

Same here :yawn:

How awesome! It makes it easier to have someone to exercise with, and what could be better than with your own kids! I'll have to find out if my son is old enough to go with me to the gym...he loves sports! And maybe I can work out a couple of days a week at home and have my daughter join me. Thank you for the…

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience! That's great that having a dog helped you overcome your problems! I have thought about getting a dog, I had one one I was little and she was pretty much part of the family. Dogs can truly become your best friend, they make you feel needed, you can talk to them about anything, and…

Thank you so much! you brought tears to my eyes! I know exactly what you mean, I do feel like i'm hurting my family! my kids notice it more and more and i've notice my 9 yr old son is slowly pushing me away :( I don't want them to feel the way you felt about your father, I'm pretty much the only person that they have! I…

Great idea! the thought of exercise just seems like going to "work" again! I do enjoy doing some of the classes at the gym, like kick boxing, but they are not always offered when i'm available. I need to find something that I can do after work and that will keep me moving! I will look into some of the things that you…

Its awesome that you found the real problem! I actually feel like I sleep too much :( I've been trying to hit the gym when i feel bad, but then convince myself that I should just go home, then I feel guilty at home that I didn't go to the gym and its a never ending cycle!

Very true! I need to get back to them i think :)

I used to play alot more Wii, I should start doing that again! I like Just Dance 3, that always makes me feel better and gets me some exercise! Thank you!

I've tried getting up earlie and going to the gym, it doesn't work...I'm just not a morning person! I do get up at 6 am for work, but i can't get up any earlier. I'm absolutely going to try to spend more time with my kids, that will surely make me feel better. And I'll try to make it to the gym after work at least 3 days…

:smile: Awesome thought! No one needs to know that i'm on meds but me and my Dr. so I shouldn't be ashame, I may need to schedule a appointment with my Dr. soon! I know that its only going to get worse in the winter. Thank you for all your great suggestions and encourament, its nice to see that I'm not the only one that is…

Yes, I need to do more of that :) I like going to the gym, takes me away from everything, but getting there is the problem, I always find excuses!

Love all the 4 points :) thank you!

Haha! thank you for those suggestions! I will start working on all of them! My kids need more of my attention, so its a win win situation! The only problem right now is that I live in Wisconsin, so getting to play outside after work is not always possible, its colder then heck right now, and its dark when i get home :( but…
