So we have talked about moving, about food but how about getting our butts out of the couch or our beds to go exercise? very simple: Make exercising fun.
You can make exercise a social gathering with a friend or friends that way you have an exercise buddy/buddies and you can help each other, another choice would be training for a good cause like a walk-a-thon or a charity race. Get some fun sport stuff, a nice outfit or even a pair of weights to work with at home. Add fun ways of moving like a zumba class, jazzercise, dancing lessons or even using something like wii fit or any other of those dance games, also the fact that you join a class or gym means you have a financial commitment with the place so you really don't want to waste that money.
Keyword: FUN!!
Quoting NADIA-R:sounds cool I wish I could find a exercise buddy. also something that my friends and I used to do was make a bet it could be small big depending and all of you. like 20 bucks to the biggest loser in 45 days if its 5 of you makes it worth it 100 bucks for losing some pounds.
That is a cool idea!! You can also reward yourself everytime you accomplish a goal or lose weight...not with food though lol but with a massage at a spa or a new exercise outfit.
Yes!!!!! Exercising is KEY!!!! Thanks for the reminder that I need to get my butt on the ball Karla!

There was people putting fat stuff in your food and even hiding your healthy meal, and taunting you with their fried chicken.
In the end, I lost 12 lbs and won $300.

We did that at one of my old jobs. It was a pool. We all pitched in $30 and whoever lost the most weight, won the money. Let me tell you, it got nasty.
