The problem with losing weight and/or getting in shape is motivation... you really have to want to. This is probably the 4th thread of its kind to be started here and they always seem to go well for a little while... then die off as people lose motivation or forget about the thread.
I am feeling more motivated lately, not as much to lose weight as to get in shape. I'm finding that I'm having a lot of issues that I'm pretty sure could be pretty well cured if I was just in better physical shape. (lower back, neck pain, recurring tennis elbow). So timely is this thread. I actually just sent out a few emails today to potential personal trainers. I really need to get my butt in the gym and actually use my gym membership and get in shape. But that is one area where I have a really hard time motivating myself, I really need someone to tell me what to do. I also need to get back on track with weight watchers. I did it pretty well for a while then for various reasons slacked off. The latest was just dealing with braces (spacers, etc) and just trying to actually eat at all was hard enough without trying to worry about how healthy it was. Eating is getting easier, so I need to focus on eating healthy again. I also need to find a good fiber supplement. I was taking a pill form but the dr told me to try the powder stuff. I picked up Benefiber because it could be mixed into anything and found that it (like Fiber One bars) just gives me gas
