i hate exercise and i wouldnt get on a treadmill or eliptical to save my life!! however, i love to dance so i joined jazzercise and it is 40 minutes of dance/cardio and 20 min of toning with light weights - now i am addicted to it and never want to miss my daily morning class. it really doesnt feel like exercise - just fun...try to find something fun to do - it will make it so much easier to stick to.

good luck

I agree---decide what you DO like to do, and incorporate it in. If you like music, dance in the privacy of your own home. If you like to shop, do your walking in the local mall.

I listen to books either on the Ipod, or on disc, and only allow myself to listen while I either walk on the treadmill, or the elliptical--I actually find myself going beyond my planned workout so I can finish up what is happening in the book!!! They have a wide selection at our local library.

It gets easier and you find yourself feeling better, and that in itself is addictive. I know you don't believe it now----I didn't then either!!!

Thanks to everyone for all of your suggestions! It's nice to know that other people have gone through what I am going through and made it!! I do enjoy swimming and I used to love biking, I think I might start out with those and with some walking on the in between days. You guys are awesome!
