How to exercise
It made me
 "Accept it won't be easy."
How I did it: In the past, I would try to exercise, it would hurt, I would itch all over from poor circulation and then I would stop. for 1 week I did nothing but stroll for 15 minutes. I increased to 20 minutes at a 2 miles an hour pace. The third week I did it for 30 minutes. The 4th and 5th week I added some interval jogging. I also did some laps at a pool sporadically to help out as well. I still have a long way to go but I am 20 pounds lighter and have a lot more energy! Lessons & tips: I think I am best at encouragement. I mean, I was almost 300 pounds, and if I can exercise anyone can!

How I did it: I just signed up in a gym and started going, I'm doing it on mond, weds and fridays, 2 hours a day. It makes me feel more healthy, less lazy, I feel my muscles grow, I got more energy to do other things in life... it's amazing! I highly recommend it for anyone! Read how I did it…

Wow 
How I did it: I started training for a triathalon. I realized that imagining myself cross the finish line OR how humiliated I would be if I started dying before I finished is the greatest motivator I could find! I've been regularly swimming, running (which is still very hard for me) and biking for 12 months now. This has helped me maintain a weightloss of about 30 lbs for the last year and a half.

Accomplished
How I did it: I exercised intermittently last year, then I spent the fall in Europe in which I walked at least three miles a day just to get to the university. When I got home, I decided that I needed to maintain some sort of exercise plan here at home, and I picked January first as a good day to get started. I began by simply walking as I had done in Europe for fifteen minutes a day the first week and then half an hour the next. When… Read how I did it…

At first I had…”Exercise for thirty minutes 3x a week. Well, that soon came unrealistic with my hectic work schedule this month. BUT I will keep the 3, 3x a overall goal for the year. I need to cut myself a little bit of slack, right? Onward and upward!

1.75 miles on the treadmill.
A moderately low speed, but I’m thrilled I was motivated to do it at all after working a 10 hour day.

of yoga and toning today…
It felt so good!
I’m not as out of shape as I’d thought though my muscles do feel quite tight and tense (go figure).
I just worked long enough for my daughter to grow bored. She was doing it with me at first, very very cute…and a good example to her.

I STILL have not made it to the gym, but I might just go today! I have the whole day off and it’d be perfect. I hope I can find someone to go with me.

I want to exercise mainly for the reason of being healthy and fit. Right now I am very slender, but most defenitly out of shape. I could afford to put of some pounds of muscle, and maybe even a little fat, but my goal is to overall be a healthier human being. I think I will motivate myself to go to the gym tomorow. Hopefully my sister will go with me.
