Hi. I'm new here but I need your help. I was banded on June 5, 2009. I've lost about 65lbs but my weightloss has slowed. I only lost 3lbs last month. My motivation to exercise is just not where it should be. I hate outdoors and the closest gym is about a hour away. Do you know of any exercises that a trying to reform couch potato might enjoy. Need to be low impact because of bad knee. Please HELP.

I have read this book on people's psychology and one of the lines there is still in my head. "don't wait for motivation to start something. Act first and motivation will come later". Meaning if you are sitting on the couch and saying "oh i wish i was motivated to work out" it won't happen. Get up and start moving. the hardest part is to start. After you start feeling great..you are now motivated to continue and do well.

that works for me. Also looking at people's success stories....keeps me going big time! and thats with everything..not just weightloss.
