What I'm doing? I'm working out, doing body sculpting and pilates at the gym and on Saturdays I'm running, training for a 10 mile race. I'm doing this with a friend. We're actually training for a marathon that's in Nov. But between now and then, we're signing up for races. 10 miler, 1/2 marathon, 6 mile and then the marathon.
I can't diet. I absolutely cannot diet. However here's my tip. Run. Jog if you have bad knees. Do a jog/walk thing if you have to. And if you need motivation, sign up for races. And what's worked for me, since I hate doing anything cardio in a gym: do the body sculpting and pilates classes. They'll strengthen your muscles and if ANYTHING ELSE give you a boost of confidence to go forward with the weight loss.
It's easier for me to forgo the chocolate when I just came home from doing a pilates class. I can't diet, but if I FEEL in shape or better about myself, it's different. Like telling a loser boyfriend to get a life cuz I'm suddenly too good for him.

I hear ya, Erika... it's hard for me to diet too. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to eat! I am more carefull about what I eat, but I still enjoy it. I could never be anorexic if I tried. But you're right, working out is a nice balance to eating good food--not junk food--but really good food.
