[quote=Anonymous]So you are overweight? Because your first post says you want to get in shape I thought you just want to exercise, but you need to lose weight too? For that cutting calories is the answer. I was out of shape, but not overweight(maybe 5lbs) and once I started exercising I liked it. I do yoga and when I first started I used to run and walk a ton, but due to past Lyme running is hard on my body, so now I do elliptical and find that burns a lot of calories but is easier on my body. What I've done, is that my teen also joined a gym and we go together. I do yoga, she does much more, and she is great force for my will to do it. How old are your kids? Old enough to exercise? I suggest you go and maybe spend money on a gym membership if you don't already, once I was paying the fee, I was much more motivated to go. Or sign up for a class, once you are paying, you are more likely to make sure you go. When my kids were younger, I was in a a great shape, like insane, when kids were from 3 to 9 years old, I also had a physically demanding job. But, still almost every evening, I would leave them with DH and go to the nearby gym. I loved it. It was also my time to have alone time, it was never over an hour, but I was addicted. The reason I write this, is that once I stopped, it was so hard to find the will to do it again, and I didn't know I had Lyme disease for a few years. and btw, I also bought long ago elliptical... never worked having it at home for me, just took space, yes I put it in TV room too, never used it, gym worked so much better for me. Anyway, if you need tips on fast, healthy meals planning, I am happy to post, I wish you good luck.[/quote]
