This article couldn’t have come at a better time. I just started an exercise program a few weeks ago and I was beginning to get a bit discourged with the whole process of things. Thanks for the pick me up.

I wish more people would be dedicated to losing weight. It really isn’t that hard. 20-30 mins a day, 3-4 days a week. EVERY WEEK! Eat what you want, but not so much crap like Doritos and cheesecake. The pounds will come off – it just takes a few months. The hard part is changing your lifestyle to include less sitting around and more activity. I was only about 10 pounds overweight, but my energy level has increased so much since I decided to be more active.

If only I could get as excited about my physical fitness as I have about my financial fitness.

A very interesting point. Maybe I’ll find some inspiration in it.

That’s an awesome story! Last year I weighed in at a hefty 265 and was fed up with it. I got into the gym and never looked back. To date I’ve lost 59 lbs and only have 21 more to go till I reach my goal weight. I’m 29 and am in better shape than I was in high school. )

Now only if I could apply this to my financial life. :-k

You GO boy!!!

I’m in the same boat, after being sedentary with a broken leg for 3.5 months. I gained 15 pounds, found out I also tore my rotator cuff when I fell, and just walking is excruciating, but I’ll get there.

Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Sounds like my first time back playing tennis after a 10 year hiatus. I was out of shape and couldn’t keep up. And to top it off I was slightly overweight and pasty white. You know tennis is a sport where you show a lot of flesh and wear white clothes – that’s not good in February for an out of shape person.

But like you I stuck too it got better and even got a tan. I feel great, too. Good job and way to stick with the cycling!
