Well I guess I am on my own on this one and just have to motivate myself. Well I bought Tae Bo so hopefully that will work for me

go take a picture of yourself in a bikini and post it on your bathroom mirror...that's working for me.

Also- you can do 20 minutes of cardio more effectively if you interval train instead of just walking at one steady pace.. this is what I do at least 3 times a week and it is really working...

So what you do is you exercise for 20 minutes. Every minute you increase speed and/or incline (increase intensity)... so here's what I do...
The intensity level starts at 5 and goes up to 10. 5 means that you are just doing your regular walk.... not really putting you out of breath or anything like that.

Minute Intensity (MPH)
1/ 5 (2.8)
2/ 5 (2.8)
3/ 6 (3.2)
4/ 7 (3.8)
5/ 8 (4.0 - jog)
6 / 9 (4.4- run)
7/ 5 (2.8)
8/ 6 (3.2)
9/ 7 (3.8)
10/ 8 (4.0 - jog)
11/ 9 (4.4- run)
12/ 6 (3.2)
13/ 7 (3.8)
14/ 8 (4.0 - jog)
15/ 9 (4.4- run)
16/ 6 (3.2)
17/ 7 (3.8)
18/ 8 (4.0 - jog)
19/ 9 (4.4- run)
20/ 10 (4.4- with steep incline- run)
21/ 5 (2.8 no incline)

I do too. I feel so overwhelmed, I don't know where to start. When I think of my ultimate goal it makes me even more depressed. Can someone help me in the right direction?

small goals first ...
pick one thing you want to work on.. and it doesn't have to be weight.
getting water in
writing down everything you eat
working out a few times a week....

write it down- put it on your fridge, your mirror, etc..
