I did...I finally got my butt up and off to the gym 5 days a week for about a 45 minute workout...it was easy to stick to; the gym was 3 minutes away from our office, I could change at the office, go to the gym, work out and come back to the office and change again...never interupting my kids or husbands day! I had lost over 40 pounds and had toned my body - I HAD NEVER BEEN IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE - I kept it for almost 2 years.
Then we moved to Utah - it was TOO cold to walk out across a large parking lot, drive 15 minutes down the road, workout and get back all within an hours lunch...hence the weight began to come back on, then I broke my foot (near amputation) and was laid up on our couch for 6 months - that was the beginning of the end - I lost muscle mass and gained weight.
Almost a year after the break, I am now trying to lose weight again, but don't have the aggresive attitude I once had. I have changed my diet due to other health issues and have tried to get on my elliptical at home in the evenings. I don't have the ability to lift weights at home (no equipment) but am trying to do situps & pushups and stretches...it is a slower process but I have lost 10 pounds in the past 3-4 weeks (mainly because of the dietary changes).
