Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

Definitly the lack of exercise. I'm just too tired at the end of the day Chat Icon Ideally, I'd want to be able to work out in the morning. I'm hoping that next year I can get into a school that starts at 9am so that i can go to the gym at like 6 before i head to work.

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

I would say I'm an emotional eater. I put on a lot of weight since dealing with infertility.

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

alittle be of all on the list. I do take thyroid medication so sometimes I blame the issue on metabolism, as well as age, and lack of exercise...and my food choices are not always the best. I always say "tomorrow", and tomorrow is always today that I never 'start'. hmmm...

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

I voted exercise, because I think I have better control over the other things than I used to. Making myself exercise is always a struggle. I always feel better after I do it, but I am not sure I will ever get to a point where I will love it or not force myself to do it.

I definitely just eat too much.
I'm finally serious about losing weight...yeah...after the wedding. Even the wedding wouldn't truly motivate me. Now...it's all just for me!Chat Icon

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

exercise
that is my biggest problem.
I don't eat poorly- eat lots of veggies, lean meats, etc... but I hardly exercise (although I do a lot of walking- but my body is used to it i guess)

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

I know it's the food I eat. DH and I get take-out at least 4 days a week. Exercise isn't an issue at all. I LOVE exercising, but I'd have to exercise all day long to burn off all the crap I eat. Chat Icon

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

I definitely eat too much crap
and I dont exercise mostly because I am always so tired and have no energy

I used to eat right and jog and I had so much energy

If I could just get through a week of doing this I would stick with it but..................ya know its not gonna happen

Re: Those of us who struggle with weight

I gained 10 lbs since I got married, and though I work out 3 or 4 times a week I think it's that we often get takeout or cook "easy" meals, which tend to be worse for you. I've lost 3 of it, which seems like such a small amount, but I am really trying before we go to a wedding in June.

Mine is a little bit of everything and also because I have basically no metabolism.
