I really like Jessica Smith's workouts. You can get them free on YouTube and she has a very large variety of workouts available so there's bound to be at least a couple that you like. Also, for that matter, if you're really just looking for something to do then taking like 15, 20 minutes and browsing through YouTube can…

To be honest, everyone has different ways to keep with it and one way won't work for everyone so it might just be a matter of finding something that works for you.

I started out in a similar boat to you (100 pounds to lose to target), but I'm 13 pounds in so I guess I'm down to 87 pounds to go! But, I'd still be happy to be friends with anyone who needs some! I'm always looking for support and motivation to keep me on the right path.
