[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the pp who said to pad up and get in there, even for a light, 20 minute work-out. A trainer once advised me that the habit of going to the gym is more important than what you do there. He said that even if all I did was go and sit in the sauna, it would still be better than not going at all.

OP, it's a really good idea for you to get a couple of sessions with a trainer. S/he will help you develop a work-out plan that is realistic. That includes scheduling light days when you already know it's going to be hard. I highly recommend it.

FWIW - my girlfriend was also over 200 at 5'4". She just hit goal weight this month! (Hooray!) She's lost 90 lbs and is currently training for a triathlon. It took about three years for her to get that fit, but she lost fat immediately. I lost 60 lbs 15 years ago and until very recently when we started TTC and I went through a series of miscarriages, I kept it off. I have about 20lbs to lose now but it can be done. We can both do this![/quote]

OP here. Thank you. I understand your point about making and keeping the habit of going to the gym, even if I don't work out. Luckily for my body, I walk a mile to and from work each day so get cardio that way, but what you said really makes sense and I will plan to go gym it up even on the rag. Thank you! [/quote]
