Members,
 
Sounds like you've all found something that you enjoy doing. It doesn't matter what that is as long as you feel good doing it. Swimming, walking, tai chi are all great exercises!

take an hour walk with hubby after dinner! make it a priority. keep your shoes by the door. we have been doing it for 66 days and counting. plus, gives you time to talk and just goof around. sometimes we kick pinecones or see what other people are watching on tv. we come home feeling better and we sleep better, too, for it. sheba, that's a good addiction!

I don't like very much the gym. At least I'm feeling kile being judged etc. In the poll instead is funny and you are a sort of protectd by the water.
I'm going 4 times a week and it is relaxing. It becaming somehow an addiction

Well, I just can't seem to drag myself to the gym (too many people and it always smells funny, mixture of sweat and detergents), so I have opted for a Tai Chi class. It is only once a week but I figure it is better than nothing. It is a small group so I feel OK and we hardly talk, we just do our movements for an hour then go home. I find some days I don't want to go and I work myself up so much that I really think that I won't enjoy it. I ususally arrive with a heavy heart but once we start I enjoy it and go home feeling good. The best way to get back on the horse is to just close your eyes and jump on, even if you think it will be a bumpy ride. And take it one day at a time, don't think too far in the future about exercise and weight- it kills any motivation I have. If I was doing Tai Chi to lose weight, I would have given up a long time ago, but I am doing it for fun......

Scheduling time for exercise during your day helps, as well as doing activities that you enjoy.
 
Members, any other suggestions?

I haven't been doing my yoga or my walking. I feel unmotivated and tired. But I know it would help me. Anyone have advice on how to get back on the horse?
 
P.S: Since I don't exercise I have been gaining weight...
