I know its hard to get started especially when were over weight but I promise it is the best thing for you. You will see more results and faster. I was banded Jan 15, 07, started at 259 and now I am 165. I walk 5 days a week, just a steady pace and I lift weights 3 days a week, moderately. Muscle helps burn fat. When I walk I listen to my ipod and block out everything around me I have felt the same way you do. Hope everything goes good for you.
