anyone dieting and not exercising?
i seriously cannot find the time to get to the gym (and we have one right across the street in our condo development)...
the weight is coming off but I know that I will plateau sooner than later without adding exercise. I walk with DS but thats it...
i've lost 8 lbs. in three weeks. i keep telling myself that if i can find the time to get to the gym, its going to come off so much faster but ehhh, i just cant do it  (i would have to go at 530am)

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
I am. Right now I have no time. I am hoping to add riding a bike to pick ds from daycare if the snow ever melts. Doing WW and weight is coming off, just real slow, which I don't mind.

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
Honestly, once you start going at 5:30 in the morning, you will wonder how you ever went after work. I get up, go to the gym and am home before DS gets up. It's a great feeling knowing you did something good for yourself so early. I say try it out and commit to it for a month. If, after a month, you are miserable, then stop. You'll never know until you try.

Yup. That's what I do too! I get up at 5:23 (to be exact ) to workout and then be at work for my 8:15 start time.

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
I agree! Going so early is something I never thought I'd be able to do - but once I did it - I FELT AWESOME!! You'll noticed some energy during the day as well.
You may even find that you're looking forward to that time of day!!
Good luck!

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
Just diet - no exercise.
9lbs in 3wks. I figure, at this rate, why bother?
ETS: You lost 8lbs in 3wks, I don't know that it will go much faster than that - but of course you'll tone up more!

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
I have been exercising minimally and like you, I have lost about 8lbs in 3 weeks.
I want to, but after a long day at work, coming home taking care of DD, making dinner, straightening up, etc. it's like 10pm and I end up passing out. Plus my DH works nights so its hard because DD cries or wakes up.
I feel like I am making excuses
When I do get a minute though, I do Zumba on the PS3 Move. Its fun and it tracks your progress.

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
I don't have the money to join a gym and I don't know where I would find the time with 2 kids.
I've done Biggest Loser on Wii a couple of times but I'm not sure if it really did anything.

my question for you is, if you get up this early do you take a break on the weekends and go a little later?

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
For those of you who are dieting but not exercising, how many calories are you eating? I am trying to exercise, but I'm only getting to the gym a few times a week. I want to make sure I am eating the right amount to lose weight.

Re: anyone dieting and not exercising?
I'm doing WW & the weight is coming off but I just don't have the time nor energy to do a workout. My only opportunity would be at 9pm when the boys are sleeping & by that point, I just want to sit down!
I am anxiously awaiting the spring so I can resume my outside walking with the boys but like you, I feel I will hit a plateau soon & then I will be fustrated

Same here pretty much. I'm at 4:45am just to get out of the house by 6:45 to drop DD off for daycare. She doesn't go down to sleep until 7:30-8pm and I'm in bed by 9pm. And yes, that one hour I have COULD be used to exercising but I'll be honest and tell you it's reserved for my husband. I get one hour with him alone and quite frankly I just want to veg. So for now, I'm just dieting.

This is me.... I don't have time or money for the gym.
I am waiting for all this snow to go away so I can get back to running outside! I don't have access to a treadmill right now.
