Can someone advise...please.

In comparison to some, I don't have lots to moan about. But ... I have a black cloud over my head at all times as I feel FAT. I need to lose 1.5 stone - this is based on BMI and common sense rather than looking like a stick insect. I am unfit. I am able to afford a decent diet but much to my shame, take huge pleasure in eating rubbish and also drinking half bottle of wine a night. I feel in a rut. I feel and am lazy. I do my hair, make up, dress nice, put on a smile every day but know thst I am a fat, unmotivated, lazy slobbo. I tried Shred, did it for 2 nights, then decided Corrie better. Gyms scare me. I think Couch to 5K may kill me. Am I beyond help? What do I do!? Dont be too nasty.

I'm not going to be mean/nasty, but YOU really have to want to change yourself.

Cut the rubbish, cut the wine, monitor what you eat on myfitnesspal, do shred most evenings, aim for couch to 5km.

Not beyond help, but you need to want to help yourself. If you have a DP/DH can you get them to help motivate you?

Less daunting than something like Shred or the gym - go for a walk. Walk briskly (if you have a smart phone/iPhone get runkeeper, it will tell you how fast you walk, you should aim for at least 3 miles per hour) for at least 20 mins every day. It makes a huge difference, and it will lift that depressed feeling, too, as you will get some fresh air and sunlight. It is low enough impact not to hurt your joints and raises your pulse rate high enough to help fitness/burn calories. I am a real exercise refuser, and I have kept this up for four weeks now. If I do have to skip a day, I miss it. Honest. I can't believe it either!

Forever - not nasty, just honest. Thk you. You're right I need to really want this.

Card - I do walk BUT the Runkeeper seems a v v useful too.

Tmrw is another day.!

If shred is too daunting, get Davinas dvd. Its very good. Just timetable a 40min slot in to your morning or day (1/2 hr for exercise, 10 mins for shower) and stick to it.

Stop drinking wine every evening and have none at all during the week.
Eat only one item of 'rubbish' or treat, if you prefer, a day.

You'll lose weight, feel better and get more energy.

Right. Friday is the new Monday. Eaten healthily so far today, no snacks and will NOT have wine till next weekend. Have got a cold but walked v v briskly on school run today and hope to do a class next week when fully over it. Really enjoy using MyFitnessPal App on phone. Really want to start feeling well. Going to CP in 2 weeks and I know I won't have lost a stone but I also know it is possible, if I want it to be possible for me to lose a couple of pounds and feel healthy. Thank you for responding.
