I'm trying to lose weight, but I'm really bad at it. /o\

What have you done to lose weight? Have you checked out the online resources? I highly recommend the site I'm on now, sparkpeople.com.

You can dooooooo it!

mm well my dad is prediabetic, so we eat lots of low carb foods and really pay attention to serving sizes. plus I really make sure I try and eat about 1200 calories a day. Other than that, eh.

I keep meaning to get out an exercise, since my doc keeps saying that's really important to keeping my bipolar under control too, but I tend to never remember :/ need to join a class or something i guess

You can start small at home. Make a goal that you will exercise 10 minutes a day. Or if that's too much, do 5 minutes a day. That's it. Do that for two weeks and you have started a new, healthier habit.

I use netflix to stream workout videos, but you can find free workouts online that you can read about and do yourself. Oh, and you can join the comm exercise_every_day and we will encourage you!

mm. it's not that I don't know... it's just...*shrug* yeah. IDK if motivation is the problem, or desire, or what. A class or something would be cool, because then I'm paying for it, so I'll feel obligated to go. I used to be really good about going to my TKD classes because of that.

I'm in transition at the moment, though, between Japan, the parents' house, and my apt in grad school, so I'm sort of... eh. I'll start something once I get settled into grad school, which is in a few weeks. *shrug*

that comm seems nice though; perhaps perhaps. I do have a Wii Fit. *contemplates* I could to the PStump thing

Yeah, you've got to really want it. You can only motivate yourself. Others can inspire and encourage, but the motivation is up to you.
