I weighed 194 on Saturday so I didn't quite make it. I've lost most of the easy weight so progress on the scale is getting harder to come by. Hoping for 190 by January 1 even with the holidays factored in. I just got a 3 month gym membership to cover the cold months and it looks like there are some good full court basketball games happening pretty regularly. I get way better results when exercise involves doing something I like.

Nice, it's fun just to be able to say you're under 200 pounds.

I've gotten lazy. Hovering at around 195 and totally apathetic to the idea of further dieting or exercise at the moment. Bleh.

If I may chime in on this, do some fun active things for exercise, rather than "working out".
For example, I view jogging as boring "work". But I get my exercise in by "playing", such as a pickup basketball game, with a couple of friends, or things like that.

Perhaps find someone to play catch with a football, by running some routes to catch throws, simple things like that.

I'm also in a softball league right now, which I admit does not seem much. But instead of trying for homers, I just hit singles/doubles, because I'd rather run the bases aggressively. Believe me, I get pretty tired after some of those games.

At family get-togethers, I've smack talked nephews/nieces into running a few races, or mini soccer games, etc.

Playing raquetball gets you awesome exercise, too.

My point is, you can find plenty of fun ways to be active to get some exercise in. I don't like "workouts"., & I'm not in the best shape I could be, but I'm not overweight, either.
