Hi everyone. I've not very busy lately so I've been reading the site all day. I joined the site a few months back but haven't had much time to read and post. My main concerns are weight loss and excess hair. I was diagnosed a little over a year ago and have gained 20lbs since. I kept my weight stabalized before by just controlling my portions. I think I watch what I eat but the pounds aren't budging . I've been trying to find the motivaton to exercise forever. I just dont know how to motivate myself. I feel like I look good so I guess that's why I'm not pressed to work out but I know I'd like to at least drop those 20lbs. Any advice anyone?

Hi Tiki! The motivation part is tough. One thing that did work for me in the past was having a work out buddy. That made me accountable to go to work out with someone, and I knew it was a "date." The onther "thing" that helped was Weight Watchers, but my main motivation in that was my wedding day. I wanted to drop at least 20 pounds. I ended up loosing 25, and I think it really worked for me because I knew that I had to weigh in each week with a complete strangers, and for some reason, I didn't want them to think that I wasn't really doing what I should be.
Right now, my motiviation is my overall health, and being able to play/enjoy my DD.

My motivation is to lose lots of weight and get pg. I also want to be able to do more things with my hubs. Today I went for a long walk with my doggy. It felt great.

Thanks for some of the advice given about motivation. After reading a few forums on the site yesterday I planned my work out and my meals and followed through . I love to dance so I just went on youtube and found some instructional videos and actually had fun. I'm definitely getting a head start on my resolution to focus more on my health. Hope everyone enjoys their New Year.

I'm from Detroit, so I love to HUSTLE! There are lots of different hustles on YouTube, I actually made myself a CD with about 10 different ones on there, it's about 45 minutes to an hour of dancing! My faves are the Mississippi Slide and Cupid Shuffle. One majorly FAST one is the Turbo Hustle...try at your own risk!
Me and my husband also learned how to Ballroom Hustle a few years back, and made an hour CD of songs with the perfect beat...and used to sweat it out in our living room! I know it had Jagged Edge - Where The Party At, Koffee Brown - The After Party, R. Kelly - Pause, Flash (our favorite), Maxwell - Don't Ever Wonder...and some other songs I can't think of right now! Shoot, I need to dig that bad boy out so we can dance in the New Year (if we don't fall asleep), LOL!

Thanks!! I see there are quite a few dances on there. They look fun too. I just looked at the Turbo Hustle video it doesn't look too bad lol. I'll probably give them a try. Thanks again for the info
