Motivation

[Wishingslim]

Does anyone else struggle with motivation to exercise?

Hello and welcome, Wishingslim

In answer to your question, I would say a lot of us do. Fortunately, weight loss is much more down to what we eat, so turn exercise into activity that you enjoy whether it be walking, gardening, hoola hooping, dancing .... anything you'll do regularly and increase gradually.

You'll find everything you need to use the forum in our Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... I recommend joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans. You'll find them both friendly and interactive.

Active participation is the key to success so I hope we'll see you out and about around the forum

its mainly what you eat not exercise

[lighterflyer]

Yes. I only like to do forms of exercise that give a visible result. Cleaning windows, gardening. I have tried all sorts of exercise over the years. I don’t understand it but I haven’t been able to get into a routine. Housework and vigorous gardening is the only way for me. I hope you find a type of exercise that you enjoy and can stick with.

DEFINITELY, I have basically 0 stamina, so struggle a lot, and since any result take a lot of time to show it is so very hard to keep going!

....it can take a bit to learn how to find one's way around so please read the material carefully and also note, don't use the HU App, it is much easier to use the website.

As explained above, we recommend that members join a Weekly Weigh-In, on the day of your choice, and also use the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans and get useful feedback. They are found under Pinned Posts (go back to the link I gave you above)

Not through lack of motivation more lack of fitness at the moment .

I have stopped running and started skipping.

Anything that helps you move more is excercise.
